[PATCH] drm: Use strscpy() instead of strscpy_pad()

kzalloc() already zero-initializes the destination buffers, making
strscpy() sufficient for safely copying the names. The additional
NUL-padding performed by strscpy_pad() is unnecessary.

If the destination buffer has a fixed length, strscpy() automatically
determines its size using sizeof() when the argument is omitted. This
makes the explicit size arguments unnecessary.

No functional changes intended.
