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 strscpy().
No return values were used, so direct replacement is safe.

Applied to for-next/hardening, thanks!

Yeah, I took a bunch that hadn't been picked up yet: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux.git/log/?h=for-next/hardening Thanks! -- Kees Cook
