[PATCH] ASoC: wcd934x: Fix a incorrect use of kstrndup

In wcd934x_codec_enable_dec(), widget_name is allocated by kstrndup().
However, according to doc: "Note: Use kmemdup_nul() instead if the size
is known exactly." So we should use kmemdup_nul() here instead of
kstrndup(). It's similar to CVE-2019-12454.
