[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4] app/testpmd: fix copying the name of the dynflag

When working with testpmd and setting the dynflag name, we copy the
name given by the cmd to the dynflag name.

The issue is that the size of the dynflag name is smaller then the
string used by testpmd.

This commit solves this issue by checking that the length of the requested
flag name is not too long.

Coverity issue: 353610

Fixes: b57b66a97ebf ("app/testpmd: support mbuf dynamic flag")
