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 new_entry->dbf_name to be NUL-terminated based on its use with
strcmp():
| if (strcmp(entry->dbf_name, name) == 0) {
Moreover, NUL-padding is not required as new_entry is kzalloc'd just
before this assignment:
| new_entry = kzalloc(sizeof(struct qeth_dbf_entry), GFP_KERNEL);
... rendering any future NUL-byte assignments (like the ones strncpy()
does) redundant.
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.
