[PATCH] xfs: replace deprecated strncpy with strscpy_pad

[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.

The current code has taken care of NUL-termination by memset()'ing
@label. This is followed by a strncpy() to perform the string copy.

Instead, use strscpy_pad() to get both 1) NUL-termination and 2)
NUL-padding which is needed as this is copied out to userspace.

Note that this patch uses the new 2-argument version of strscpy_pad
introduced in Commit e6584c3964f2f ("string: Allow 2-argument
strscpy()").
