The latest kernel docs:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/deprecated.html
recommends replacing strlcpy with strscpy as the safer alternative. The
value of strlcpy is not used so there shouldn't be issues with replacing
the deprecated call.

Hi,

This hits a compilation error:

My analysis/review for this is same as my response for your similar patch here:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-perf-users/3CA737FF-2F21-42CA-BF95-5F0341F6B68B@linux.vnet.ibm.com/T/#m619e016f6dd4abb1e1830580bdc74c86b4fcace8
