pktgen: convert safe uses of strncpy() to strcpy() to avoid string truncation warning

GCC 8 complains:

There is no bug here, but the code is not perfect either.  It copies
sizeof(pkt_dev->/member/) - 1 from user space into buf, and then does
a strcmp(pkt_dev->/member/, buf) hence assuming buf will be null-terminated
and shorter than pkt_dev->/member/ (pkt_dev->/member/ is never
explicitly null-terminated, and strncpy() doesn't have to null-terminate
so the assumption must be on buf).  The use of strncpy() without explicit
null-termination looks suspicious.  Convert to use straight strcpy().

strncpy() would also null-pad the output, but that's clearly unnecessary
since the author calls memset(pkt_dev->/member/, 0, sizeof(..)); prior
to strncpy(), anyway.

While at it format the code for "dst_min", "dst_max", "src_min" and
"src_max" in the same way by removing extra new lines in one case.
