scsi: bnx2fc: 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 hba->chip_num to be NUL-terminated based on its usage with format
strings:
snprintf(fc_host_symbolic_name(lport->host), 256,
"%s (QLogic %s) v%s over %s",
BNX2FC_NAME, hba->chip_num, BNX2FC_VERSION,
interface->netdev->name);
Moreover, NUL-padding is not required as hba is zero-allocated from its
callsite:
hba = kzalloc(sizeof(*hba), GFP_KERNEL);
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.
Regarding stats_addr->version, I've opted to also use strscpy() instead of
strscpy_pad() as I typically see these XYZ_get_strings() pass
zero-allocated data. I couldn't track all of where bnx2fc_ulp_get_stats()
is used and if required, we could opt for strscpy_pad().
