isdn: kcapi: replace deprecated strncpy with strscpy_pad

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

`buf` is used in this context as a data buffer with 64 bytes of memory
to be occupied by capi_manufakturer.

We see the caller capi20_get_manufacturer() passes data.manufacturer as
its `buf` argument which is then later passed over to user space. Due to
this, let's keep the NUL-padding that strncpy provided by using
strscpy_pad so as to not leak any stack data.
| 	cdev->errcode = capi20_get_manufacturer(data.contr, data.manufacturer);
| 	if (cdev->errcode)
| 		return -EIO;
|
| 	if (copy_to_user(argp, data.manufacturer,
| 			 sizeof(data.manufacturer)))
| 		return -EFAULT;

Perhaps this would also be a good instance to use `strtomem_pad` for but
in my testing the compiler was not able to determine the size of `buf`
-- even with all the hints.
