[U-Boot] [PATCH] disk: Fix possible out-of-bounds access in part_efi.c

Make sure to never access beyond bounds of either EFI partition name
or DOS partition name. This situation is happening:

part.h:     disk_partition_t->name is 32-byte long
part_efi.h: gpt_entry->partition_name is 36-bytes long

The loop in part_efi.c copies over 36 bytes and thus accesses beyond
the disk_partition_t->name .

Fix this by picking the shortest of source and destination arrays and
make sure the destination array is cleared so the trailing bytes are
zeroed-out and don't cause issues with string manipulation.
