strcpy() performs no bounds checking on the destination buffer. This
could result in linear overflows beyond the end of the buffer, leading
to all kinds of misbehaviors. [1]

this fixes checkpatch warning:
    WARNING: Prefer strscpy over strcpy

Changes since v1:
- Added third parameter in strscpy()
- Added comment to explain where the limit `NAME_MAX+1` is comming from
  as suggested by Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr>

Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20241111221037.92853-1-abdul.rahim@myyahoo.com/

The function __get_snap_name() is assigned to .get_name() from 
struct export_operations, when `ceph_snap(inode) != CEPH_NOSNAP`.
`struct export_operations` is comming from `include/linux/exportfs.h`,
and according to [1], the operation get_name assumes that the variable
`name` is pointing to a buffer of size NAME_MAX+1

Applied with minor formatting tweaks.
