Replace the deprecated strncpy() with strscpy() as the destination
buffer is NUL-terminated and does not require any
trailing NUL-padding. Also increase the length to 252
as NUL-termination is guaranteed.

Hi Pranav,

As a non-bug fix for Networking code this should be targeted
at net-next. And it's helpful to do so explicitly in the patch subject,
like this:

        [PATCH v2 net-next] ...

Also, unfortunately the timing of this patch is not good
as net-next is currently closed for the merge window.

You can find more information about the above,
and other aspects of the workflow for the Networking subsystem
in https://docs.kernel.org/process/maintainer-netdev.html


## Form letter - net-next-closed

The merge window for v6.16 has begun and therefore net-next is closed
for new drivers, features, code refactoring and optimizations. We are
currently accepting bug fixes only.

Please repost when net-next reopens after June 8th.

RFC patches sent for review only are obviously welcome at any time.

Hi,

Thanks for pointing out the shortcomings in the patch.
The doc will help a lot. I will correct the patch accordingly and
send the v2 as the merge window has reopened.

Regards

Pranav Tyagi
