scsi: lpfc: 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. We expect ae->value_string to be NUL-terminated because there's a comment that says as much; these attr strings are also used with other string APIs, further cementing the fact. Now, the question of whether or not to NUL-pad the destination buffer: lpfc_fdmi_rprt_defer() initializes vports (all zero-initialized), then we call lpfc_fdmi_cmd() with each vport and a mask. Then, inside of lpfc_fdmi_cmd() we check each bit in the mask to invoke the proper callback. Importantly, the zero-initialized vport is passed in as the "attr" parameter. Seeing this: | struct lpfc_fdmi_attr_string *ae = attr; ... we can tell that ae->value_string is entirely zero-initialized. Due to this, NUL-padding is _not_ required as it would be redundant. Considering the above, a suitable replacement is strscpy() [2].
