Subject: [PATCH v2] drm/modes: replace deprecated strncpy with strscpy_pad

`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings
[1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string
interfaces.

We should NUL-pad as there are full struct copies happening in places:
|       struct drm_mode_modeinfo umode;
|
|       ...
|               struct drm_property_blob *blob;
|
|               drm_mode_convert_to_umode(&umode, mode);
|               blob = drm_property_create_blob(crtc->dev,
|                                               sizeof(umode), &umode);

A suitable replacement is `strscpy_pad` due to the fact that it
guarantees both NUL-termination and NUL-padding on the destination
buffer.

Additionally, replace size macro `DRM_DISPLAY_MODE_LEN` with sizeof() to
more directly tie the maximum buffer size to the destination buffer:
|       struct drm_display_mode {
|               ...
|       	char name[DRM_DISPLAY_MODE_LEN];
