Both add_slot_store() and remove_slot_store() try to fix up the drc_name
copied from the store buffer by placing a NULL terminator at nbyte + 1
or in place of a '\n' if present. However, the static buffer that we
copy the drc_name data into is not zeored and can contain anything past
the n-th byte. This is problematic if a '\n' byte appears in that buffer
after nbytes and the string copied into the store buffer was not NULL
terminated to start with as the strchr() search for a '\n' byte will mark
this incorrectly as the end of the drc_name string resulting in a drc_name
string that contains garbage data after the n-th byte. The following
debugging shows an example of the drmgr utility writing "PHB 4543" to
the add_slot sysfs attribute, but add_slot_store logging a corrupted
string value.
[135823.702864] drmgr: drmgr: -c phb -a -s PHB 4543 -d 1
[135823.702879] add_slot_store: drc_name = PHB 4543°|<82>!, rc = -19
Fix this by using strscpy() instead of memcpy() to ensure the string is
NULL terminated when copied into the static drc_name buffer. Further,
since the string is now NULL terminated the code only needs to change
'\n' to '\0' when present.

Changes in v2:
* use strscpy instead of memcpy (suggested by mpe)
