igbvf: replace deprecated strncpy with strscpy

`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings
[1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string
interfaces.

We expect netdev->name to be NUL-terminated based on its usage with
`strlen` and format strings:
|       if (strlen(netdev->name) < (IFNAMSIZ - 5)) {
|               sprintf(adapter->tx_ring->name, "%s-tx-0", netdev->name);

Moreover, we do not need NUL-padding as netdev is already
zero-allocated:
|       netdev = alloc_etherdev(sizeof(struct igbvf_adapter));
...
alloc_etherdev() -> alloc_etherdev_mq() -> alloc_etherdev_mqs() ->
alloc_netdev_mqs() ...
|       p = kvzalloc(alloc_size, GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT | __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL);

Considering the above, a suitable replacement is `strscpy` [2] due to
the fact that it guarantees NUL-termination on the destination buffer
without unnecessarily NUL-padding.
