Re: [PATCH 2/3] orangefs: strncpy -> strlcpy

It looks like strscpy went in last October... there are
no users of it yet. I was just about to send in a pull request
that includes Martin's strncpy->strlcpy patch when I saw
Andy's comment.

Linus said when he pulled strscpy:

Maybe it makes sense for our strncpy->strlcpy patch to be a strscpy
patch instead? Maybe our strncpy->strlcpy patch is itself a
"mindless conversion patch"? (I don't think so)...

I'll wait until tomorrow, and then send my pull request as it is, unless
everyone chimes in and says "use strscpy!"...
