strncpy() is deprecated for NUL-terminated destination buffers; use
strscpy() instead.

Since sli_config_cmd_init() already zeroes out the destination buffers,
the potential NUL-padding by strncpy() is unnecessary. strscpy() copies
only the required characters and guarantees NUL-termination.

And since all three destination buffers have a fixed length, strscpy()
automatically determines their size using sizeof() when the argument is
omitted. This makes any explicit sizeof() calls unnecessary.

The source strings are also NUL-terminated and meet the __must_be_cstr()
requirement of strscpy().

No functional changes intended.

Applied to 6.16/scsi-staging, thanks!
