powerpc/ps3: refactor strncpy usage

`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1].

`make_first_field()` should use similar implementation to `make_field()`
due to memcpy having more obvious behavior here. The end result yields
the same behavior as the previous `strncpy`-based implementation
including the NUL-padding.
