[PATCH v2] kernfs: Prefer strscpy over strlcpy calls

[Azeem Shaikh]

strlcpy() reads the entire source buffer first.
This read may exceed the destination size limit.
This is both inefficient and can lead to linear read
overflows if a source string is not NUL-terminated [1].
Since strscpy() returns -E2BIG on truncate, we rely on
strlen(src) to imitate strlcpy behavior.

This is part of a tree-wide cleanup to remove the strlcpy() function
entirely from the kernel [2].
