Subject: [PATCH] staging: r8188eu: fix a gcc warning

Replace strncpy with strlcpy to fix the following gcc warning.

drivers/staging/r8188eu/os_dep/ioctl_linux.c: In function 'rtw_wx_set_enc_ext':
drivers/staging/r8188eu/os_dep/ioctl_linux.c:1929:9: warning: 'strncpy' specified bound 16 equals destination size [-Wstringop-truncation]
 1929 |         strncpy((char *)param->u.crypt.alg, alg_name, IEEE_CRYPT_ALG_NAME_LEN);
      |         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The destination buffer size is IEEE_CRYPT_ALG_NAME_LEN and the length
of the string to copy is always < IEEE_CRYPT_ALG_NAME_LEN. So strlcpy
will never truncate the string.
