Subject: [PATCH] Bluetooth: replace deprecated strncpy with strscpy_pad

strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [0]
and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string interfaces.

The CAPI (part II) [1] states that the manufacturer id should be a
"zero-terminated ASCII string" and should "always [be] zero-terminated."

Much the same for the serial number: "The serial number, a seven-digit
number coded as a zero-terminated ASCII string".

Along with this, its clear the original author intended for these
buffers to be NUL-padded as well. To meet the specification as well as
properly NUL-pad, use strscpy_pad().

In doing this, an opportunity to simplify this code is also present.
Remove the min_t() and combine the length check into the main if.

Note: build-tested only.

For future travelers: skb->data + CAPI_MSG_BASELN + 14 is a byte that
specifies the length of the message to follow, and of course "... + 15"
is the offset of the message itself.

Due to this, we cannot use the more appropriate memtostr_pad() because
we don't know all the sizes at compile time.
