Subject: [PATCH net-next 09/10] netfilter: xtables: refactor deprecated strncpy

From: Justin Stitt <justinstitt@...gle.com>

Prefer `strscpy_pad` as it's a more robust interface whilst maintaing
zero-padding behavior.

There may have existed a bug here due to both `tbl->repl.name` and
`info->name` having a size of 32 as defined below:
|  #define XT_TABLE_MAXNAMELEN 32

This may lead to buffer overreads in some situations -- `strscpy` solves
this by guaranteeing NUL-termination of the dest buffer.
