It might be safer over the long term, and self-documenting, to do the
following instead:
buf_len = strlen("initialized=0;enforcing=0;checkreqprot=0;") + 1;
> + for (i = 0; i < __POLICYDB_CAPABILITY_MAX; i++)

's/3/strlen(on)/' or is that too much?

I wonder if it might be a good idea to add a WARN_ON() to the various
copies, e.g.:
rc = strXXX(...);
WARN_ON(rc);
The strscpy/strlcat protections should ensure that nothing terrible
happens with respect to wandering off the end of the string, or
failing to NUL terminate, but they won't catch a logic error where the
string is not allocated correctly (resulting in a truncated buffer).
