    scsi: lpfc: Use memcpy() for BIOS version

    The strlcat() with FORTIFY support is triggering a panic because it
    thinks the target buffer will overflow although the correct target
    buffer size is passed in.

    Anyway, instead of memset() with 0 followed by a strlcat(), just use
    memcpy() and ensure that the resulting buffer is NULL terminated.

    BIOSVersion is only used for the lpfc_printf_log() which expects a
    properly terminated string.
