Since these strings are expected to be NUL-terminated and the buffers
are exactly sized (in vnic_client_data_len()) with no padding, strncpy()
can be safely replaced with strscpy() here, as strncpy() on
NUL-terminated string is considered deprecated[1]. This has the
side-effect of silencing a -Warray-bounds warning due to the compiler
being confused about the vlcd incrementing:

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.
