PNP: ACPI: replace deprecated strncpy() with strscpy()
strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings
[1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string
interfaces.
We know dev->name should be NUL-terminated based on the presence of a
manual NUL-byte assignment.
NUL-padding is not required as dev is already zero-allocated which
renders any further NUL-byte assignments redundant:
dev = pnp_alloc_dev(&pnpacpi_protocol, num, pnpid); --->
dev = kzalloc(sizeof(struct pnp_dev), GFP_KERNEL);
Considering the above, a suitable replacement is `strscpy` [2] due to
the fact that it guarantees NUL-termination on the destination buffer
without unnecessarily NUL-padding. This simplifies the code and makes
the intent/behavior more obvious.
