Hi!

Not a PR blocker, but this patch re-introduces users of strlcpy() which
has been otherwise removed this cycle. I'll send a patch to replace
these new uses, but process-wise, I'd like check on how bcachefs patches
are reviewed.

Normally I'd go find the original email that posted the patch and reply
there, but I couldn't find a development list where this patch was
posted. Where is this happening? (Being posted somewhere is supposed
to be a prerequisite for living in -next. E.g. quoting from the -next
inclusion boiler-plate: "* posted to the relevant mailing list,") It
looks like it was authored 5 days ago, which is cutting it awfully close
to the merge window opening:

	AuthorDate: Fri Jan 5 11:58:50 2024 -0500

Actually, it looks like you rebased onto v6.7-rc7? This is normally
strongly discouraged. The common merge base is -rc2.

It also seems it didn't get a run through scripts/checkpatch.pl, which
shows 4 warnings, 2 or which point out the strlcpy deprecation:

WARNING: Prefer strscpy over strlcpy - see: https://github.com/KSPP/linux/issues/89
#123: FILE: fs/bcachefs/super.c:1389:
+               strlcpy(c->name, name.buf, sizeof(c->name));

WARNING: Prefer strscpy over strlcpy - see: https://github.com/KSPP/linux/issues/89
#124: FILE: fs/bcachefs/super.c:1390:
+       strlcpy(ca->name, name.buf, sizeof(ca->name));

Please make sure you're running checkpatch.pl -- it'll make integration,
technical debt reduction, and coding style adjustments much easier. :)

Thanks!
