strcpy() has been deprecated [1] because it performs no bounds checking
on the destination buffer, which can lead to buffer overflows. Replace
it with the safer strscpy(), drop the manual length check and the
now-unused local length variable.

Return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM) directly and remove the obsolete 'out_p' label.
