In preparation for removing the strlcat() API[1], replace its uses in
fill_pcm_stream_name() and get_jack_mode_name(). Both appends become
bounded strscpy() calls at a known position.

In fill_pcm_stream_name() the trim walk itself lands on the append
position. It stops at the trim point when the name has a decoration
to drop, and at the terminating NUL otherwise, so the suffix
overwrites from there and no length bookkeeping is needed.

get_jack_mode_name() measures the label once with strnlen() because
snd_hda_get_pin_label() does not return a length.

The produced strings are unchanged.

v2: land on the append position instead of measuring before every
append. In fill_pcm_stream_name() the trim walk already finishes at
the append position, so the suffix goes down with one bounded
strscpy() and no length bookkeeping, matching the pattern of commit
86dc52c5c96e ("ALSA: usb-audio: simplify mixer control name
handling"). get_jack_mode_name() keeps one strnlen() because
snd_hda_get_pin_label() returns no length. Other shapes were built
and measured for this respin, including the seq_buf form suggested
in the thread. That one moves the fill-only-when-empty guard of
fill_pcm_stream_name() into all three callers, because
seq_buf_init() clears the first byte, and every call site grew.
