scsi: ch: Replace deprecated strncpy() with strscpy()

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

These labels get copied out to the user so lets make sure they are
NUL-terminated and NUL-padded.

vparams is already memset to 0 so we don't need to do any NUL-padding (like
what strncpy() is doing).

Considering the above, a suitable replacement is strscpy() [2] due to the
fact that it guarantees NUL-termination on the destination buffer without
unnecessarily NUL-padding.

Let's also opt to use the more idiomatic strscpy() usage of: (dest, src,
sizeof(dest)) as this more closely ties the destination buffer to the
length.
