[PATCH v2] net: ena: replace deprecated strncpy with strscpy

[justinstitt]

`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings
[1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string
interfaces.

A suitable replacement is `strscpy` [2] due to the fact that it
guarantees NUL-termination on the destination buffer without
unnecessarily NUL-padding.

host_info allocation is done in ena_com_allocate_host_info() via
dma_alloc_coherent() and is not zero initialized by alloc_etherdev_mq().

However zero initialization of the destination doesn't matter in this case,
because strscpy() guarantees a NULL termination.
