warning found by checkpatch.pl script.I replaced the usage of strncpy() with strscpy() in the code(line 524) for the buf buffer to improve string copying.This is appropriate since strscpy() is used when you want to copy a NUL-terminated string and the destination buffer requires trailing NUL-padding.
