accel/ivpu: refactor deprecated strncpy
`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1]. A suitable replacement is `strscpy` [2] due to the fact that it guarantees NUL-termination on its destination buffer argument which is _not_ the case for `strncpy`! Also remove extraneous if-statement as it can never be entered. The return value from `strncpy` is it's first argument. In this case, `...dyndbg_cmd` is an array: | char dyndbg_cmd[VPU_DYNDBG_CMD_MAX_LEN]; ^^^^^^^^^^ This can never be NULL which means `strncpy`'s return value cannot be NULL here. Just use `strscpy` which is more robust and results in simpler and less ambiguous code. Moreover, remove needless `... - 1` as `strscpy`'s implementation ensures NUL-termination and we do not need to carefully dance around ending boundaries with a "- 1" anymore.
