drm: property: Replace strncpy() with strscpy_pad()
strncpy() is widely regarded as unsafe due to the fact that it may leave
the destination string without a nul-termination when the source string
size is too large. When compiling the kernel with W=1, the gcc warns
about this:

drivers/gpu/drm/drm_property.c: In function ‘drm_property_create’:
drivers/gpu/drm/drm_property.c:130:2: warning: ‘strncpy’ specified bound 32 equals destination size [-Wstringop-truncation]
  130 |  strncpy(property->name, name, DRM_PROP_NAME_LEN);
      |  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There are three occurrences of strncpy() in drm_property.c. None of them
are actually unsafe, as the very next line forces nul-termination of the
destination buffer. The warning is thus a false positive, but adds noise
to the kernel log. It can easily be silenced by using strscpy_pad()
instead. Do so.

One of the three occurrences, in drm_property_add_enum(), fills a char
array that is later copied to userspace with copy_to_user() in
drm_mode_getproperty_ioctl(). To avoid leaking kernel data,
strscpy_pad() is required. Similarly, a second occurrence, in
drm_mode_getproperty_ioctl(), copies the string to an ioctl data buffer
that isn't previously zero'ed, to strscpy_pad() is also required. The
last occurrence, in drm_property_create(), would be safe to replace with
strscpy(), as the destination buffer is copied to userspace with
strscpy_pad(). However, given that this isn't in a hot path, let's avoid
future data leaks in case someone copies the whole char array blindly.
