[GIT PULL] strlcpy removal for v6.8-rc1

Hi Linus,

Please pull this strlcpy removal for v6.8-rc1. As promised, it is the
"part 2" of the hardening tree, late in -rc1 now that all the other trees
with strlcpy() removals have landed. One new user appeared (in bcachefs)
but was a trivial refactor. The kernel is now free of the strlcpy() API!

Thanks!

-Kees
