[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v2] drm/i915: use strscpy() to avoid buffer overrun

In capture_vma() Coverity complains of a possible buffer overrun. Even
though this is a static function where all call sites can be checked,
limiting the copy length could save some future grief.

CID 93300 (#1 of 1): Copy into fixed size buffer (STRING_OVERFLOW)
4. fixed_size_dest: You might overrun the 16-character fixed-size string c->name
   by copying name without checking the length.
5. parameter_as_source: Note: This defect has an elevated risk because the
   source argument is a parameter of the current function.
1326        strcpy(c->name, name);

Fix any possible overflows by using strscpy() which guarantees NULL termination.

Also correct 2 other strcpy() call sites with the same potential for Coverity
warnings or overruns.

v2 - Change $SUBJECT from "drm/i915: zero fill vma name buffer"
     Use strscpy() instead of strncpy(). Its a much simpler change.
