Luo Jiaxing 22da19f900 drm/nouveau/device: use snprintf() to replace strncpy() to avoid NUL-terminated string loss
Following warning is found when using W=1 to build kernel:

In function ‘nvkm_udevice_info’,
    inlined from ‘nvkm_udevice_mthd’ at drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nvkm/engine/device/user.c:195:10:
drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nvkm/engine/device/user.c:164:2: warning: ‘strncpy’ specified bound 16 equals destination size [-Wstringop-truncation]
  164 |  strncpy(args->v0.chip, device->chip->name, sizeof(args->v0.chip));
drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nvkm/engine/device/user.c:165:2: warning: ‘strncpy’ specified bound 64 equals destination size [-Wstringop-truncation]
  165 |  strncpy(args->v0.name, device->name, sizeof(args->v0.name));

The reason of this warning is strncpy() does not guarantee that the
destination buffer will be NUL terminated. If the length of source string
is bigger than number we set by third input parameter, only a part of
characters is copied to the destination, and no NUL-terminated string is
automatically added. There are some potential risks.

So use snprintf() to replace strncpy().

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
