[PATCH] net: ax88796c: 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.

A suitable replacement is `strscpy` [2] due to the fact that it
guarantees NUL-termination on the destination buffer without
unnecessarily NUL-padding.

It should be noted that there doesn't currently exist a bug here as
DRV_NAME is a small string literal which means no overread bugs are
present.

Also to note, other ethernet drivers are using strscpy in a similar
pattern:
|       dec/tulip/tulip_core.c
|       861:    strscpy(info->driver, DRV_NAME, sizeof(info->driver));
|
|       8390/ax88796.c
|       582:    strscpy(info->driver, DRV_NAME, sizeof(info->driver));
|
|       dec/tulip/dmfe.c
|       1077:   strscpy(info->driver, DRV_NAME, sizeof(info->driver));
|
|       8390/etherh.c
|       558:    strscpy(info->driver, DRV_NAME, sizeof(info->driver));
