The legacy struct blk_user_trace_setup has a 32-byte name field,
while buts2->name is a 64-byte buffer (BLKTRACE_BDEV_SIZE2).

Since commit 113cbd62824a ("blktrace: pass blk_user_trace2 to setup
functions"), blk_trace_setup() copied buts2->name into buts->name
using strcpy(). strcpy() performs no bounds checking on the destination
buffer, which can overflow if the source string exceeds 31 characters.

Replace deprecated [1] strcpy() with strscpy() to ensure proper bounds
checking and prevent potential buffer overflow.

At this point all this has been checked as part of the setup.  If you
hatr strcpy with passing, just doing a memcpy of BLKTRACE_BDEV_SIZE2
is the saner alternative.
