Subject: bpf: Replace strncpy() with strscpy()
Patch-mainline: v5.18-rc1
Git-commit: 03b9c7fa3f15f51bcd07f3828c2a01311e7746c4
References: jsc#PED-1377

Using strncpy() on NUL-terminated strings is considered deprecated[1].
Moreover, if the length of 'task->comm' is less than the destination buffer
size, strncpy() will NUL-pad the destination buffer, which is a needless
performance penalty.

Replacing strncpy() with strscpy() fixes all these issues.
