ibmvnic: replace deprecated strncpy with strscpy
`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string interfaces. NUL-padding is not required as the buffer is already memset to 0: | memset(adapter->fw_version, 0, 32); Note that another usage of strscpy exists on the same buffer: | strscpy((char *)adapter->fw_version, "N/A", sizeof(adapter->fw_version)); Considering the above, a suitable replacement is `strscpy` [2] due to the fact that it guarantees NUL-termination on the destination buffer without unnecessarily NUL-padding.
