Subject: [PATCH v3 1/5] fs: unicode: Use strscpy() instead of strncpy()

Following warning was reported by Kernel Test Robot.

In function 'utf8_parse_version',
inlined from 'utf8_load' at fs/unicode/utf8mod.c:195:7:
>> fs/unicode/utf8mod.c:175:2: warning: 'strncpy' specified bound 12 equals
destination size [-Wstringop-truncation]
175 |  strncpy(version_string, version, sizeof(version_string));
    |  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The -Wstringop-truncation warning highlights the unintended
uses of the strncpy function that truncate the terminating NULL
character from the source string.
Unlike strncpy(), strscpy() always null-terminates the destination string,
hence use strscpy() instead of strncpy().

Fixes: 9d53690f0d4e5 (unicode: implement higher level API for string handling)

---

Changes in v3
  - Return error if strscpy() returns value < 0

Changes in v2
  - Resolve warning of -Wstringop-truncation reported by
    kernel test robot.
