[PATCH 10/11] staging: greybus: change strncpy() to strscpy()

From: Arnd Bergmann

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx>

gcc-10 warns about a strncpy() that does not enforce zero-termination:

In file included from include/linux/string.h:369,
from drivers/staging/greybus/fw-management.c:9:
In function 'strncpy',
inlined from 'fw_mgmt_backend_fw_update_operation' at drivers/staging/greybus/fw-management.c:306:2:
include/linux/fortify-string.h:108:30: error: '__builtin_strncpy' specified bound 10 equals destination size [-Werror=stringop-truncation]
108 | #define __underlying_strncpy __builtin_strncpy
| ^
include/linux/fortify-string.h:187:9: note: in expansion of macro '__underlying_strncpy'
187 | return __underlying_strncpy(p, q, size);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For some reason, I cannot reproduce this with gcc-9 or gcc-11, so I'm not
sure what's going on. Changing it to strspy() avoids the warning. In this
case the existing check for zero-termination would fail but can be replaced
with an error check.
