[PATCH v2] fs: ocfs2: Replace strlcpy with sysfs_emit

From: Azeem Shaikh
Date: Thu Aug 31 2023 - 15:38:40 EST


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].
In an effort to remove strlcpy() completely [2], replace
strlcpy() here with sysfs_emit().

Direct replacement is safe here since its ok for `kernel_param_ops.get()`
to return -errno [3].
