net: ax88796c: 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.
A suitable replacement is `strscpy` [2] due to the fact that it
guarantees NUL-termination on the destination buffer without
unnecessarily NUL-padding.
It should be noted that there doesn't currently exist a bug here as
DRV_NAME is a small string literal which means no overread bugs are
present.
Also to note, other ethernet drivers are using strscpy in a similar
pattern:
| dec/tulip/tulip_core.c
| 861: strscpy(info->driver, DRV_NAME, sizeof(info->driver));
|
| 8390/ax88796.c
| 582: strscpy(info->driver, DRV_NAME, sizeof(info->driver));
|
| dec/tulip/dmfe.c
| 1077: strscpy(info->driver, DRV_NAME, sizeof(info->driver));
|
| 8390/etherh.c
| 558: strscpy(info->driver, DRV_NAME, sizeof(info->driver));
