[PATCH 4/4] tracing: Make sure variable string fields are NULL-terminated

From: Tom Zanussi
Date: Wed Mar 28 2018 - 16:11:29 EST


The strncpy() currently being used for variable string fields can
result in a lack of termination if the string length is equal to the
field size. Use the safer strscpy() instead, which will guarantee
termination.
