tools/perf/tests: Fix compilation error with strncpy in tests/tool_pmu

perf fails to compile on systems with GCC version11
as below:

/usr/include/bits/string_fortified.h:95:10: error: ‘__builtin_strncpy’ specified bound 128 equals destination size [-Werror=stringop-truncation]

The compile error is from strncpy refernce in do_test:
	strncpy(str, tool_pmu__event_to_str(ev), sizeof(str));

This behaviour is not observed with GCC version 8, but observed
with GCC version 11 . This is message from gcc for detecting
truncation while using strncpu. Use snprintf instead of strncpy
here to be safe.
