`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1].

We should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string interfaces.

We expect name to be NUL-terminated based on its numerous uses with
functions that expect NUL-terminated strings.

For example in i2c-core-base.c +1533:
| dev_dbg(&adap->dev, "adapter [%s] registered\n", adap->name);

NUL-padding is not required as `adap` is already zero-alloacted with:
| adap = devm_kzalloc(&usbif->dev, sizeof(struct i2c_adapter), GFP_KERNEL);

With the above in mind, a suitable replacement is `strscpy` [2] due to
the fact that it guarantees NUL-termination on the destination buffer
without unnecessarily NUL-padding.
