[merged mm-nonmm-stable] gcov-use-strscpy-instead-of-strcpy-in-init_node.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: gcov: use strscpy() instead of strcpy() in init_node()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     gcov-use-strscpy-instead-of-strcpy-in-init_node.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-nonmm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

node->name is a flexible array member sized to exactly strlen(name) + 1
bytes at allocation time in new_node(), so this copy can never actually
overflow.  Still, prefer the bounded strscpy() over strcpy() on general
principle; pass the same strlen(name) + 1 bound the allocation used, since
sizeof() cannot be applied to a flexible array member.

No functional change.
