Error observed when CONFIG_RTE_KNI_KMOD_ETHTOOL config option is
enabled.

build error:
In function ‘strncpy’,
    inlined from ‘igb_get_drvinfo’ at
    .../dpdk/build/build/kernel/linux/kni/igb_ethtool.c:814:2:
    .../include/linux/string.h:246:9: error: ‘__builtin_strncpy’ output
    may be truncated copying 31 bytes from a string of length 42
    [-Werror=stringop-truncation]
      return __builtin_strncpy(p, q, size);
               ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fixed by using strlcpy instead of strncpy.

adapter->fw_version size kept same because of
c3698192940c ("kni: fix build with gcc 7.1")

Also next line strncpy usage replaced with strlcpy while arround.

Fixes: c3698192940c ("kni: fix build with gcc 7.1")
