The implementation of strscpy() is more robust and safer.
That's now the recommended way to copy NUL-terminated strings.

Queued for testing and additional review, thank you!

Please see below for the traditional wordsmithing and please let me
know if I messed anything up.

							Thanx, Paul

    rcu/trace: use strscpy() to instead of strncpy()
    
    This commit saves a line of code by switching from strncpy() to strscpy()
    by permitting the later NUL assignment to be removed.  While in the area,
    save another line by taking advantage of 100 characters.
