[PATCH] scsi: lpfc: replace deprecated strncpy with strscpy

[Justin Stitt <justinstitt@google.com>]

strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings
[1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string
interfaces.

We expect ae->value_string to be NUL-terminated because there's a
comment that says as much; these attr strings are also used with other
string APIs, further cementing the fact.

Now, the question of whether or not to NUL-pad the destination buffer:
lpfc_fdmi_rprt_defer() initializes vports (all zero-initialized), then
we call lpfc_fdmi_cmd() with each vport and a mask. Then, inside of
lpfc_fdmi_cmd() we check each bit in the mask to invoke the proper
callback. Importantly, the zero-initialized vport is passed in as the
"attr" parameter. Seeing this:
|	struct lpfc_fdmi_attr_string *ae = attr;
... we can tell that ae->value_string is entirely zero-initialized. Due
to this, NUL-padding is _not_ required as it would be redundant.

Conveniently, strscpy also returns the number of bytes copied into the
destination buffer, eliminating the need for strnlen!

Considering the above, a suitable replacement is `strscpy` [2].
