Justin Stitt 3ce6608bfc drm/nouveau/nvif: refactor deprecated strncpy
`strncpy` is deprecated and as such we should prefer more robust and
less ambiguous string interfaces.

A suitable replacement is `strscpy_pad` due to the fact that it
guarantees NUL-termination on the destination buffer whilst also
maintaining the NUL-padding behavior that `strncpy` provides. I am not
sure whether NUL-padding is strictly needed but I see in
`nvif_object_ctor()` args is memcpy'd elsewhere so I figured we'd keep
the same functionality.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
