[for-next][PATCH 02/11] tracing: Replace multiple deprecated strncpy with memcpy

[Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>]

From: Justin Stitt <justinstitt@google.com>

strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1] and
as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string interfaces.

String copy operations involving manual pointer offset and length
calculations followed by explicit NUL-byte assignments are best changed
to either strscpy or memcpy.

strscpy is not a drop-in replacement as @len would need a one subtracted
from it to avoid truncating the source string.

To not sabotage readability of the current code, use memcpy (retaining
the manual NUL assignment) as this unambiguously describes the desired
behavior.
