rpmsg: Replace deprecated strncpy with strscpy_pad
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 chinfo.name to be NUL-terminated based on its use with format
strings:
| dev_err(&ctrldev->dev, "failed to create %s channel\n", chinfo.name);
Since chinfo is not default initialized, we should NUL-pad the `name`
field so that the behavior is consistent with what strncpy() provides:
| struct rpmsg_channel_info chinfo;
Considering the above, a suitable replacement is `strscpy_pad` due to
the fact that it guarantees both NUL-termination and NUL-padding on the
destination buffer.
