strlcpy() reads the entire source buffer first.
This read may exceed the destination size limit.
This is both inefficient and can lead to linear read
overflows if a source string is not NUL-terminated [1].
In an effort to remove strlcpy() completely [2], replace
strlcpy() here with strscpy().
No return values were used, so direct replacement is safe.

Applied to 6.5/scsi-staging!
PS. It would help if you could submit changes like these as a series in
the future so I don't have to track each patch individually.

Applied to 6.5/scsi-queue, thanks!
