[PATCH] wifi: ipw2x00: replace deprecated strncpy with strscpy

[Justin Stitt]

`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1].

We can massively simplify the implementation by removing the ternary
check for the smaller of `count` and `sizeof(buffer) - 1` as `strscpy`
guarantees NUL-termination of its destination buffer [2]. This also
means we do not need to explicity set the one past-the-last index to
zero as `strscpy` handles this.

Furthermore, we can also utilize `strscpy`'s return value to populate
`len` and simply pass in `sizeof(buffer)` to the `strscpy` invocation
itself.
