[PATCH net-next] macvlan: Replace strncpy() by strscpy()

From: Gustavo A. R. Silva
Date: Mon May 27 2019 - 14:42:14 EST


The strncpy() function is being deprecated. Replace it by the safer
strscpy() and fix the following Coverity warning:

"Calling strncpy with a maximum size argument of 16 bytes on destination
array ifrr.ifr_ifrn.ifrn_name of size 16 bytes might leave the destination
string unterminated."

Notice that, unlike strncpy(), strscpy() always null-terminates the
destination string.
