s390/ctcm: replace deprecated strncpy with strscpy

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

We expect chid to be NUL-terminated based on its use with format
strings:

CTCM_DBF_TEXT_(SETUP, CTC_DBF_INFO, "%s(%s) %s", CTCM_FUNTAIL,
chid, ok ? "OK" : "failed");

Moreover, NUL-padding is not required as it is _only_ used in this one
instance with a format string.

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.

We can also drop the +1 from chid's declaration as we no longer need to
be cautious about leaving a spot for a NUL-byte. Let's use the more
idiomatic strscpy usage of (dest, src, sizeof(dest)) as this more
closely ties the destination buffer to the length.
