[PATCH v3] staging: wlan-ng: remove strncpy() use in favor of strscpy()

[Calvince Otieno]

In response to the suggestion by Dan Carpenter on the initial patch,
this patch provides a correct usage of the strscpy() in place of the
current strncpy() implementation.

strscpy() copies characters from the source buffer to the destination
buffer until one of the following conditions is met:
	- null-terminator ('\0') is encountered in the source string.
	- specified maximum length of the destination buffer is reached.
	- source buffer is exhausted.
Example:
	char dest[11];
	const char *PRISM2_USB_FWFILE = "prism2_ru.fw";
	strscpy(dest, PRISM2_USB_FWFILE, sizeof(dest));

	In this case, strscpy copies the first 10 characters of src into dest
	and add a null-terminator. dest will then contain "prism2_ru.f" with
	proper null-termination.

Since the specified length of the dest buffer is not derived from the
dest buffer itself and rather form plug length (s3plug[i].len),
replacing strcpy() with strscpy() is a better option because it will
ensures that the destination string is always properly terminated.
