[PATCH] tracing/synthetic: Replace deprecated strncpy() with strscpy()

[Thorsten Blum]

strncpy() is deprecated for NUL-terminated destination buffers; use
strscpy() instead and remove the manual NUL-termination.

The destination buffer 'buf' is used only with kstrtouint() and must be
NUL-terminated, but not NUL-padded. The source string 'start' is also
guaranteed to be NUL-terminated and meets the __must_be_cstr()
requirement of strscpy().

No functional changes intended.
