In preparation for removing the strlcat() API[1], replace its two
uses in the generic parser.

Both call sites append one suffix to a string that the function has
already bounded to the buffer size. A strscpy() anchored at the
current end of the string writes the same bytes, including when the
suffix is truncated.

The patch was tested as follows.

- W=1 build of sound/hda/, zero warnings.
- A userspace differential harness compiled the old and the new
  functions side by side. The buffers were byte identical over their
  full length, including the bytes after the terminator.
- A QEMU runtime compare. A guest with an emulated HDA codec was
  booted on the base and on the patched kernel, and the captured
  /proc/asound state was byte identical. That covers the PCM stream
  names from fill_pcm_stream_name() live.
