[PATCH v2] wifi: ath10k: replace deprecated strncpy with memcpy

[Justin Stitt]

strncpy() is deprecated [1] and we should prefer less ambiguous
interfaces.

In this case, arvif->u.ap.ssid has its length maintained by
arvif->u.ap.ssid_len which indicates it may not need to be
NUL-terminated. Make this explicit with __nonstring and use a plain old
memcpy.

This is also consistent with future copies into arvif->u.ap.ssid:

	if (changed & BSS_CHANGED_SSID &&
	    vif->type == NL80211_IFTYPE_AP) {
		arvif->u.ap.ssid_len = vif->cfg.ssid_len;
		if (vif->cfg.ssid_len)
			memcpy(arvif->u.ap.ssid, vif->cfg.ssid,
			       vif->cfg.ssid_len);
		arvif->u.ap.hidden_ssid = info->hidden_ssid;
	}

Changes in v2:
- update subject to include wifi
- prefer memcpy() over strtomem() (thanks Kalle, Jeff)
- rebase onto 6.6-rc7 @d88520ad73b79e71
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231013-strncpy-drivers-net-wireless-ath-ath10k-mac-c-v1-1-24e40201afa3@google.com
