[PATCH v2 net-next] net/sched: replace strncpy with strscpy

From: Pranav Tyagi <hidden>
Date: 2025-06-20 10:37:05
Also in: linux-kernel-mentees, lkml
Subsystem: networking [general], tc subsystem, the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Jamal Hadi Salim, Jiri Pirko, Linus Torvalds

Replace the deprecated strncpy() with the two-argument version of
strscpy() as the destination is an array
and buffer should be NUL-terminated.
