strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings
as it doesn't guarantee NUL-termination when the source string length
exceeds the destination buffer size. strscpy() is a safer alternative
as it always NUL-terminates the destination and returns the number of
characters copied (excluding the NUL).
Replace strncpy() with strscpy() for copying the bootdebug_filter value,
using sizeof(bootdebug_filter) rather than sizeof()-1 since strscpy()
takes the full buffer size as parameter.
