[PATCH] gpio: gpiolib: replace deprecated strcpy() with strscpy()

[Dmitry Antipov]

Prefer 'strscpy()' over deprecated 'strcpy()' in 'desc_set_label()'.

[PATCH] gpio: virtuser: avoid strlen() in gpio_virtuser_direction_do_read()

[Dmitry Antipov]

Since 'snprintf()' returns the number of characters emitted and buffer
size guarantees that there will be no overflow, an extra call to
'strlen()' in 'gpio_virtuser_direction_do_read()' may be dropped.

Strictly speaking this is incorrect change due to use of snprintf().
One should have converted that one to scnprintf().

While at it, we also have str_input_output() helper, but this is not
exactly related to the change.
