smb: client: 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.
In cifssmb.c:
Using strncpy with a length argument equal to strlen(src) is generally
dangerous because it can cause string buffers to not be NUL-terminated.
In this case, however, there was extra effort made to ensure the buffer
was NUL-terminated via a manual NUL-byte assignment. In an effort to rid
the kernel of strncpy() use, let's swap over to using strscpy() which
guarantees NUL-termination on the destination buffer.
To handle the case where ea_name is NULL, let's use the ?: operator to
substitute in an empty string, thereby allowing strscpy to still
NUL-terminate the destintation string.
Interesting note: this flex array buffer may go on to also have some
value encoded after the NUL-termination:
| if (ea_value_len)
| memcpy(parm_data->list.name + name_len + 1,
| ea_value, ea_value_len);
Now for smb2ops.c and smb2transport.c:
Both of these cases are simple, strncpy() is used to copy string
literals which have a length less than the destination buffer's size. We
can simply swap in the new 2-argument version of strscpy() introduced in
Commit e6584c3964f2f ("string: Allow 2-argument strscpy()").
