[v2] scsi: hpsa: Replace deprecated strncpy() with strscpy()

strncpy() is deprecated for NUL-terminated destination buffers. Use
strscpy() instead and remove the manual NUL-termination.

Use min() to simplify the size calculation.

Compile-tested only.

Changes in v2:
- Adjust len to copy the same number of bytes as with strncpy()
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/34BB4FDE-062D-4C1B-B246-86CB55F631B8@linux.dev/

Okay, this is making sure that "len" is either the last byte of tmpbuf,
or all the bytes in buf, if it is less than sizeof(tmpbuf), and then NUL
terminates the string that was copied into tmpbuf from buf.

This is what memtostr() was made for.

I think this patch should be:

You might also want to use one of the stroul() family rather than sscanf().
