vmcore: replace strncpy with strscpy_pad

Browse Source 
strncpy() is in the process of being replaced as it is deprecated [1].
We should move towards safer and less ambiguous string interfaces.

Looking at vmcoredd_header's definition:
|	struct vmcoredd_header {
|		__u32 n_namesz; /* Name size */
|		__u32 n_descsz; /* Content size */
|		__u32 n_type;   /* NT_VMCOREDD */
|		__u8 name[8];   /* LINUX\0\0\0 */
|		__u8 dump_name[VMCOREDD_MAX_NAME_BYTES]; /* Device dump's name */
|	};
.. we see that @name wants to be NUL-padded.

We're copying data->dump_name which is defined as:
|	char dump_name[VMCOREDD_MAX_NAME_BYTES]; /* Unique name of the dump */
.. which shares the same size as vdd_hdr->dump_name. Let's make sure we
NUL-pad this as well.

Use strscpy_pad() which NUL-terminates and NUL-pads its destination
buffers. Specifically, use the new 2-argument version of strscpy_pad
introduced in Commit e6584c3964f2f ("string: Allow 2-argument
strscpy()").
