[PATCH] habanalabs/goya: refactor deprecated strncpy

From: Justin Stitt
Date: Thu Aug 24 2023 - 16:50:04 EST


`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1].

A suitable replacement is `strscpy` [2] due to the fact that it
guarantees NUL-termination on its destination buffer argument which is
_not_ the case for `strncpy`!
