[PATCH] kdb: replace deprecated strncpy

[Justin Stitt <justinstitt@google.com>]

All the other cases in this big switch statement use memcpy or other
methods for copying string data. Since the lengths are handled manually
and carefully, using strncpy() is may be misleading. It doesn't
guarantee any sort of NUL-termination on its destination buffer. At any
rate, it's deprecated [1] and we want to remove all its uses [2].
