Subject: [PATCH v9 02/20] gpiolib: cdev: replace strncpy() with strscpy()

Replace usage of strncpy() with strscpy() to remove -Wstringop-truncation
warnings.

The structures being populated are zeroed, to prevent stack leakage as
they are returned to userspace, so strscpy() performs the equivalent
function without the warnings.

The memset in gpio_desc_to_lineinfo(), in conjunction with the strscpy,
is necessary as strncpy zero pads the remainder of the destination.
It also guarantees that the info cannot leak kernel stack to userspace.
This is useful here, but is even more important for the v2 info, that
this function is changed to generate in a subsequent patch, as that
struct contains padding and attribute arrays that also need to be
initialised.
