Subject: [PATCH 3/3] [v2] staging: greybus: change strncpy() to strscpy_pad()

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>

gcc-10 warns about a strncpy() that does not enforce zero-termination:

In file included from include/linux/string.h:369,
                 from drivers/staging/greybus/fw-management.c:9:
In function 'strncpy',
    inlined from 'fw_mgmt_backend_fw_update_operation' at drivers/staging/greybus/fw-management.c:306:2:
include/linux/fortify-string.h:108:30: error: '__builtin_strncpy' specified bound 10 equals destination size [-Werror=stringop-truncation]
  108 | #define __underlying_strncpy __builtin_strncpy
      |                              ^
include/linux/fortify-string.h:187:9: note: in expansion of macro '__underlying_strncpy'
  187 |  return __underlying_strncpy(p, q, size);
      |         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For some reason, I cannot reproduce this with gcc-9 or gcc-11, and I only
get a warning for one of the four related strncpy()s, so I'm not
sure what's going on.

Change all four to strscpy_pad(), which is the safest replacement here,
as it avoids ending up with uninitialized stack data in the tag name.

v2
 - use strscpy_pad()
 - use two-argument form
 - change all four instances, not just the one that produced the warning
