scsi: libfc: replace deprecated strncpy() with memcpy()

strncpy() is deprecated [1] and as such we should use different apis to
copy string data.

We can see that ct is NUL-initialized with fc_ct_hdr_fill:
|       ct = fc_ct_hdr_fill(fp, op, sizeof(struct fc_ns_rspn) + len,
...

In fc_ct_hdr_fill():
|       memset(ct, 0, ct_plen);

We also calculate the length of the source string:
|       len = strnlen(fc_host_symbolic_name(lport->host), 255);

...then this argument is used in strncpy(), which is bad because the
pattern of (dest, src, strlen(src)) usually leaves the destination
buffer without NUL-termination. However, it looks as though we do not
require NUL-termination since fr_name is part of a seq_buf-like
structure wherein its length is monitored:
|       struct fc_ns_rspn {
|       	struct fc_ns_fid fr_fid;	/* port ID object */
|       	__u8		fr_name_len;
|       	char		fr_name[];
|       } __attribute__((__packed__));

So, this is really just a byte copy into a length-bounded buffer. Let's use
memcpy().
