bpf: Replace deprecated strncpy with strscpy



strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings
[1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string
interfaces.

bpf sym names get looked up and compared/cleaned with various string
apis. This suggests they need to be NUL-terminated (strncpy() suggests
this but does not guarantee it).

|	static int compare_symbol_name(const char *name, char *namebuf)
|	{
|		cleanup_symbol_name(namebuf);
|		return strcmp(name, namebuf);
|	}

|	static void cleanup_symbol_name(char *s)
|	{
|		...
|		res = strstr(s, ".llvm.");
|		...
|	}

Use strscpy() as this method guarantees NUL-termination on the
destination buffer.

This patch also replaces two uses of strncpy() used in log.c. These are
simple replacements as postfix has been zero-initialized on the stack
and has source arguments with a size less than the destination's size.

Note that this patch uses the new 2-argument version of strscpy
introduced in commit e6584c39 ("string: Allow 2-argument strscpy()").
