+Description: Replace removed kernel strncpy() API with strscpy()
+ tp_smapi uses strncpy() in show_tp_ec_bat_str(). The kernel-side
+ strncpy() API was removed in Linux 7.2, causing the external module
+ to fail to build with an implicit declaration error.
+ .
+ Replace it with strscpy(), the kernel API intended for bounded string
+ copies, so that tp_smapi builds with Linux 7.2 and later kernels.
