[Intel-wired-lan] [next S97 v2 3/6] i40e: Replace strncpy with strlcpy to ensure null termination

From: Patryk Małek <patryk.malek at intel.com>

Using strncpy allows destination buffer to be not null terminated
after the copying takes place. strlcpy ensures that's not the
case by explicitly setting last element in the buffer as '\0'.
