Precedence: bulk

strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings
[1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string
interfaces.

To keep node->current_state_name and node->prev_state_name NUL-padded
and NUL-terminated let's use strscpy_pad() as this implicitly provides
both.

For the swap between the two, a simple memcpy will suffice.
