[PATCH] xfs: Replace deprecated strncpy() with strscpy()

[PATCH] xfs: Replace deprecated strncpy() with strscpy()

[Thorsten Blum]

strncpy() is deprecated for NUL-terminated destination buffers. Use
strscpy() instead and remove the manual NUL-termination.

No functional changes intended.

Please read the list archives before you post:

If anything, memcpy() would be appropriate here.

My bad, I found [1] and saw that you reviewed it, but missed Li's reply.
