strncpy() is deprecated for NUL-terminated destination buffers; use
strscpy() instead.

Compile-tested only.

Applied.

I added a note explaining that strscpy() uses sizeof(label->label) if the
length of the destination buffer is not provided.

What guarantees that strlen(lstring) < sizeof(label->label) ?

Hi Guenter, I don't think it matters for this patch.

If lstring >= label, strscpy() behaves the same as strncpy() because the
size argument is now one byte larger.

If lstring < label, strscpy() NUL-terminates the destination buffer, but
doesn't add NUL-padding compared to strncpy(). However, this doesn't
matter because label is already zero-initialized.

Thanks,
Thorsten
