net: liquidio: 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 know `fw_type` must be NUL-terminated based on use here:
| static bool fw_type_is_auto(void)
| {
| return strncmp(fw_type, LIO_FW_NAME_TYPE_AUTO,
| sizeof(LIO_FW_NAME_TYPE_AUTO)) == 0;
| }
...and here
| module_param_string(fw_type, fw_type, sizeof(fw_type), 0444);
Let's opt to NUL-pad the destination buffer as well so that we maintain
the same exact behavior that `strncpy` provided here.
A suitable replacement is `strscpy_pad` due to the fact that it
guarantees both NUL-termination and NUL-padding on the destination
buffer.
