`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 should NUL-pad as there are full struct copies happening in places:
| struct drm_mode_modeinfo umode;
|
| ...
| struct drm_property_blob *blob;
|
| drm_mode_convert_to_umode(&umode, mode);
| blob = drm_property_create_blob(crtc->dev,
| sizeof(umode), &umode);
A suitable replacement is `strscpy_pad` due to the fact that it
guarantees both NUL-termination and NUL-padding on the destination
buffer.
Additionally, replace size macro `DRM_DISPLAY_MODE_LEN` with sizeof() to
more directly tie the maximum buffer size to the destination buffer:
| struct drm_display_mode {
| ...
| char name[DRM_DISPLAY_MODE_LEN];
