IB/hfi1: Replace deprecated strncpy
`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 see that `buf` is expected to be NUL-terminated based on it's use
within a trace event wherein `is_misc_err_name` and `is_various_name`
map to `is_name` through `is_table`:
| TRACE_EVENT(hfi1_interrupt,
| TP_PROTO(struct hfi1_devdata *dd, const struct is_table *is_entry,
| int src),
| TP_ARGS(dd, is_entry, src),
| TP_STRUCT__entry(DD_DEV_ENTRY(dd)
| __array(char, buf, 64)
| __field(int, src)
| ),
| TP_fast_assign(DD_DEV_ASSIGN(dd);
| is_entry->is_name(__entry->buf, 64,
| src - is_entry->start);
| __entry->src = src;
| ),
| TP_printk("[%s] source: %s [%d]", __get_str(dev), __entry->buf,
| __entry->src)
| );
Considering the above, a suitable replacement is `strscpy_pad` due to
the fact that it guarantees NUL-termination on the destination buffer
while maintaining the NUL-padding behavior that strncpy provides.
