Since these strings are expected to be NUL-terminated and the buffers
are exactly sized (in vnic_client_data_len()) with no padding, strncpy()
can be safely replaced with strscpy() here, as strncpy() on
NUL-terminated string is considered deprecated[1]. This has the
side-effect of silencing a -Warray-bounds warning due to the compiler
being confused about the vlcd incrementing:
