Subject: [patch] bfa: use strncpy() instead of memcpy()

BFA_MFG_NAME is "QLogic" which is only 7 bytes, but we are copying 8 bytes.  
It's harmless because the badding byte is likely zero but it makes static 
checkers complain.

Technically the memset() is not needed because strncpy() will pad the rest of 
the buffer with zeros but I was worried that people would be paranoid.
