drm/nouveau/core: refactor deprecated strncpy
`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1].
We should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string interfaces.
A suitable replacement is `strscpy` [2] due to the fact that it guarantees
NUL-termination on the destination buffer without unnecessarily NUL-padding.
There is likely no bug in the current implementation due to the safeguard:
| cname[sizeof(cname) - 1] = '\0';
... however we can provide simpler and easier to understand code using
the newer (and recommended) `strscpy` api.
