rpmsg: Replace deprecated strncpy with strscpy_pad
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 chinfo.name to be NUL-terminated based on its use with format strings: | dev_err(&ctrldev->dev, "failed to create %s channel\n", chinfo.name); Since chinfo is not default initialized, we should NUL-pad the `name` field so that the behavior is consistent with what strncpy() provides: | struct rpmsg_channel_info chinfo; Considering the above, a suitable replacement is `strscpy_pad` due to the fact that it guarantees both NUL-termination and NUL-padding on the destination buffer.
