um: Replace strncpy() with strnlen()+memcpy_and_pad() in strncpy_chunk_from_user()

Replace the deprecated[1] strncpy() with strnlen() on the source
followed by memcpy_and_pad().

This function is a chunk callback for UML's strncpy_from_user()
implementation, called by buffer_op() to process userspace memory one
page at a time. The source is a kernel-mapped userspace address that
is not guaranteed to be NUL-terminated; "len" bounds how many bytes
to read from it.

By measuring the source string length first with strnlen(), we avoid
reading past the NUL terminator in the source. memcpy_and_pad() then
copies the string content and zero-fills the remainder of the chunk,
preserving the original strncpy() behavior exactly: copy up to the
first NUL, then pad with zeros to the full length.

strtomem_pad() would be the idiomatic helper for this strnlen() +
memcpy_and_pad() pattern, but it requires a compile-time-determinable
destination size (via ARRAY_SIZE()). Here the destination is a char *
into a caller-provided buffer and the chunk length is a runtime value,
so the explicit two-step is necessary.

No behavioral change: the same bytes are written to the destination
(string content followed by zero padding), the pointer advances by
the same amount, and the NUL-found return condition is unchanged.
