virt: acrn: replace deprecated strncpy with strscpy
strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string interfaces. We can see that client->name should be NUL-terminated based on its usage with a %s C-string format specifier. | client->thread = kthread_run(ioreq_task, client, "VM%u-%s", | client->vm->vmid, client->name); NUL-padding is not required as client is already zero-allocated: | client = kzalloc(sizeof(*client), GFP_KERNEL); Considering the above, a suitable replacement is `strscpy` [2] due to the fact that it guarantees NUL-termination on the destination buffer without unnecessarily NUL-padding. Note that this patch relies on the _new_ 2-argument version of strscpy() introduced in Commit e6584c3964f2f ("string: Allow 2-argument strscpy()").
