gcc-8 reports

drivers/iio/accel/st_accel_i2c.c: In function 'st_accel_i2c_probe':
./include/linux/string.h:245:9: warning: '__builtin_strncpy' specified
bound 20 equals destination size [-Wstringop-truncation]

The compiler require that the length of the dest string is greater than
the length we want to copy to make sure the dest string is
nul-terminated. We can just use strlcpy() to avoid this warning.

Hmm. As this is just warning suppression I'm not taking it as a fix
but rather via the slow path.

Applied to the togreg branch of iio.git and pushed out as testing for
the autobuilders to play with it.
