soc: qcom: cmd-db: replace deprecated strncpy with strtomem

strncpy() is an ambiguous and potentially dangerous interface [1]. We
should prefer more robust and less ambiguous alternatives.

@query is marked as __nonstring and doesn't need to be NUL-terminated.

Since we are doing a string to memory copy, we can use the aptly named
"strtomem" -- specifically, the "pad" variant to also ensure NUL-padding
throughout the destination buffer.
