cpufreq: Replace deprecated strncpy() with strscpy()
`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1]. We should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string interfaces. Both `policy->last_governor` and `default_governor` are expected to be NUL-terminated which is shown by their heavy usage with other string apis like `strcmp`. A suitable replacement is `strscpy` [2] due to the fact that it guarantees NUL-termination on the destination buffer.
