x86/hpet: Refactor code using deprecated strncpy() interface to use strscpy()

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

A suitable replacement is `strscpy` [2] due to the fact that it
guarantees NUL-termination on its destination buffer argument which is
_not_ the case for `strncpy`!

In this case, it is a simple swap from `strncpy` to `strscpy`. There is
one slight difference, though. If NUL-padding is a functional
requirement here we should opt for `strscpy_pad`. It seems like this
shouldn't be needed as I see no obvious signs of any padding being
required.
