This change looks good to me, but I think the subject should be:

[PATCH net-next] liquidio: use strscpy() to instead of strncpy()

Also, in the same file, does this need attention?

        /* Save off any leftovers */
        if (line != &console_buffer[bytes_read]) {
                console_buffer[bytes_read] = '\0';
                len = strlen(console->leftover);
                strncpy(&console->leftover[len], line,
                        sizeof(console->leftover) - len);
        }
