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

Compile-tested only.

This seems to be used mostly by Coldfire, so I'll let Greg handle it.

Looks good. Pushed into the m68knommu git tree, for-next branch, with
JM's tested-by and Geert's reviewed-by added.

Thanks
