ethtool: use strscpy() to instead of strncpy()

[PATCH linux-next] ethtool: use strscpy() to instead of strncpy()

The implementation of strscpy() is more robust and safer.
That's now the recommended way to copy NUL terminated strings.

Also net-next, linux-next is an integration tree, not a development
tree. It does not accept patches.

The patch looks good to me but the subject prefix should rather be
"hns:" to reflect its target code.
