IB/qib: Replace deprecated strncpy
`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 `txselect_list` is expected to be NUL-terminated based on its use in `param_get_string()`: | int param_get_string(char *buffer, const struct kernel_param *kp) | { | const struct kparam_string *kps = kp->str; | return scnprintf(buffer, PAGE_SIZE, "%s\n", kps->string); | } Note that `txselect_list` is assigned to `kp_txselect`'s string field: | static struct kparam_string kp_txselect = { | .string = txselect_list, | .maxlen = MAX_ATTEN_LEN | }; Wherein it is then assigned the set and get methods: | module_param_call(txselect, setup_txselect, param_get_string, | &kp_txselect, S_IWUSR | S_IRUGO); 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.
