igb: 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 see that netdev->name is expected to be NUL-terminated based on its
usage with format strings:
| sprintf(q_vector->name, "%s-TxRx-%u", netdev->name,
| q_vector->rx.ring->queue_index);
Furthermore, NUL-padding is not required as netdev is already
zero-allocated:
| netdev = alloc_etherdev_mq(sizeof(struct igb_adapter),
| IGB_MAX_TX_QUEUES);
...
alloc_etherdev_mq() -> alloc_etherdev_mqs() -> alloc_netdev_mqs() ...
| p = kvzalloc(alloc_size, GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT | __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL);
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.
