Subject: [PATCH 4.14 54/55] net: qed: use correct strncpy() size

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>

commit 11f711081af0eb54190dc0de96ba4a9cd494666b upstream.

passing the strlen() of the source string as the destination
length is pointless, and gcc-8 now warns about it:

drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qed/qed_debug.c: In function 'qed_grc_dump':
include/linux/string.h:253: error: 'strncpy' specified bound depends on the length of the source argument [-Werror=stringop-overflow=]

This changes qed_grc_dump_big_ram() to instead uses the length of
the destination buffer, and use strscpy() to guarantee nul-termination.
