x86/tdx: Replace deprecated strncpy() with strtomem_pad()

strncpy() works perfectly here in all cases, however, it is deprecated and
as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string APIs:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/deprecated.html#strncpy-on-nul-terminated-strings

Let's use strtomem_pad() as this matches the functionality of strncpy()
and is _not_ deprecated.
