[PATCH] fs: fuse: Use strscpy instead of strcpy

From: Miquel Sabaté Solà

Date: Wed Sep 17 2025 - 16:56:16 EST


As pointed out in [1], strcpy() is deprecated in favor of
strscpy().

Furthermore, the length of the name to be copied is well known at this
point since we are going to move the pointer by that much on the next
line. Hence, it's safe to assume 'namelen' for the length of the string
to be copied.
