This patch suggests the replacement of strncpy with strscpy
as per Documentation/process/deprecated.
The strncpy() fails to guarntee NULL termination,
The function adds zero pads which isn't really convenient for short strings
as it may cause performce issues

strscpy() is a preffered replacement because
it overcomes the limitations of strncpy mentioned above

Compile Tested
