strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1]
and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string
interfaces.
Since all these structs are copied out to userspace let's keep them
NUL-padded by using strscpy_pad() which guarantees NUL-termination of the
destination buffer while also providing the NUL-padding behavior that
strncpy() has.
Let's also opt to use the more idiomatic strscpy() usage of: 'dest, src,
sizeof(dest)' in cases where the compiler can determine the size of the
destination buffer. Do this for all cases of strscpy...() in this file.
To be abundantly sure we don't leak stack data out to user space let's also
change a strscpy() to strscpy_pad(). This strscpy() was introduced in

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
