Subject: [PATCH] scsi: message: fusion: 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.

The only caller of mptsas_exp_repmanufacture_info() is
mptsas_probe_one_phy() which can allocate rphy in either
sas_end_device_alloc() or sas_expander_alloc(). Both of which
zero-allocate:
|       rdev = kzalloc(sizeof(*rdev), GFP_KERNEL);
... this is supplied to mptsas_exp_repmanufacture_info() as edev meaning
that no future NUL-padding of edev members is needed.

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 that while `strscpy(dest, src, sizeof(dest))` is more idiomatic
strscpy usage, we should keep `SAS_EXPANDER...LEN` for length arguments
since changing these to sizeof would mean we are getting buffers one
character larger than expected due to the declaration for these members:
|       char   vendor_id[SAS_EXPANDER_VENDOR_ID_LEN+1];
|       char   product_id[SAS_EXPANDER_PRODUCT_ID_LEN+1];
|       char   product_rev[SAS_EXPANDER_PRODUCT_REV_LEN+1];
|       char   component_vendor_id[SAS_EXPANDER_COMPONENT_VENDOR_ID_LEN+1];
... and simply removing the "+1" in conjunction with using sizeof() may
not work as other code may rely on this adjusted buffer length for
sas_expander_device members.

Note: build-tested only.

Note: similar to drivers/scsi/mpi3mr/mpi3mr_transport.c +212 which uses
strscpy
