[PATCH] video: fbdev: au1200fb: replace deprecated strncpy with strscpy

[Justin Stitt]

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

Let's use the new 2-argument strscpy() which guarantees NUL-termination
on the destination buffer while also simplifying the syntax. Note that
strscpy() will not NUL-pad the destination buffer like strncpy() does.

However, the NUL-padding behavior of strncpy() is not required since
fbdev is already NUL-allocated from au1200fb_drv_probe() ->
frameuffer_alloc(), rendering any additional NUL-padding redundant.
|	p = kzalloc(fb_info_size + size, GFP_KERNEL);
