During get_info_by_fd, the prog/map name is memcpy-ed. It depends on the prog->aux->name and map->name to be zero initialized.
bpf_prog_aux is easy to guarantee that aux->name is zero init. The name in bpf_map may be harder to be guaranteed in the future when new map type is added. Hence, this patch makes bpf_obj_name_cpy() to always zero init the prog/map name.
