[PATCH] hamradio: replace deprecated strncpy with strscpy

[Justin Stitt <justinstitt@google.com>]

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 expect both hi.data.modename and hi.data.drivername to be
NUL-terminated but not necessarily NUL-padded which is evident by its
usage with sprintf:
|       sprintf(hi.data.modename, "%sclk,%smodem,fclk=%d,bps=%d%s",
|               bc->cfg.intclk ? "int" : "ext",
|               bc->cfg.extmodem ? "ext" : "int", bc->cfg.fclk, bc->cfg.bps,
|               bc->cfg.loopback ? ",loopback" : "");

Note that this data is copied out to userspace with:
|       if (copy_to_user(data, &hi, sizeof(hi)))
... however, the data was also copied FROM the user here:
|       if (copy_from_user(&hi, data, sizeof(hi)))

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: build-tested only.

Also, there are 33 instances of trailing whitespace in this file alone.
I've opted to not remove them in this patch.
