Replace the deprecated[1] uses of strncpy() in tcp_ca_get_name_by_key() and tcp_get_default_congestion_control(). The callers use the results as standard C strings (via nla_put_string() and proc handlers respectively), so trailing padding is not needed. Since passing the destination buffer arguments decays it to a pointer, the size can't be trivially determined by the compiler. ca->name is the same length in both cases, so strscpy() won't fail (when ca->name is NUL-terminated). Include the length explicitly instead of using the 2-argument strscpy().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
