I'm genuinely not sure what to do here, but I suspect your approach is
safest.

I can't see where chap_table->secret is getting set, but if it was
longer than 100 bytes, there was a bug here, as strncpy() would truncate
but chap_table->secret_len would continue to have the original length.
However, it looks like the buf_len passed to iscsi_set_param() is
ignored. O_o

As you mentioned in the commit log, this is a weird destination, but
is a legit calculation.
