[PATCH v3] usbip: usbip_host: Replace strlcpy with strscpy

[PATCH v3] usbip: usbip_host: Replace strlcpy with strscpy

[Azeem Shaikh]

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().

Direct replacement is safe here since return value of -errno
is used to check for truncation instead of sizeof(dest).

v3:
 * Removed declaration of @len to fix build failures in v2.

v2:
 * https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230614141026.2113749-1-azeemshaikh38@gmail.com/
 * Use "< 0" instead of "== -E2BIG".

v1: 
 * https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230613004402.3540432-1-azeemshaikh38@gmail.com/
