net: mdio_bus: 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 expect mdiodev->modalias to be NUL-terminated based on its usage with strcmp(): | return strcmp(mdiodev->modalias, drv->name) == 0; Moreover, mdiodev->modalias is already zero-allocated: | mdiodev = kzalloc(sizeof(*mdiodev), GFP_KERNEL); ... which means the NUL-padding strncpy provides is not necessary. 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.
