dm cache metadata: 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.

It seems `cmd->policy_name` is intended to be NUL-terminated based on a
now changed line of code from Commit (c6b4fcbad044e6ff "dm: add cache
target"):
|       if (strcmp(cmd->policy_name, policy_name)) { // ...

However, now a length-bounded strncmp is used:
|       if (strncmp(cmd->policy_name, policy_name, sizeof(cmd->policy_name)))
... which means NUL-terminated may not strictly be required. However, I
believe the intent of the code is clear and we should maintain
NUL-termination of policy_names.

Moreover, __begin_transaction_flags() zero-allocates `cmd` before
calling read_superblock_fields():
|       cmd = kzalloc(sizeof(*cmd), GFP_KERNEL);

Also, `disk_super->policy_name` is zero-initialized
|       memset(disk_super->policy_name, 0, sizeof(disk_super->policy_name));
... therefore any NUL-padding is redundant.

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.
