dax: refactor deprecated strncpy
`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1]. We should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string interfaces. `dax_id->dev_name` is expected to be NUL-terminated and has been zero-allocated. A suitable replacement is `strscpy` [2] due to the fact that it guarantees NUL-termination on the destination buffer. Moreover, due to `dax_id` being zero-allocated the padding behavior of `strncpy` is not needed and a simple 1:1 replacement of strncpy -> strscpy should suffice.
