Subject: [PATCH] net/ena: improve safety of string handling

[ upstream commit 103bb1cc29614a3b4a901d5ef3eef47294b399dc ]

Use sizeof dest rather than sizeof src for limiting copy length,
and replace strncpy with snprintf to ensure NULL termination.

Coverity issue: 127795
Fixes: 372c1af5ed8f ("net/ena: add dedicated memory area for extra device info")
