powerpc: use strscpy to replace strlcpy
The strlcpy should not be used because it doesn't limit the source length. As linus says, it's a completely useless function if you can't implicitly trust the source string - but that is almost always why people think they should use it! All in all the BSD function will lead some potential bugs. But the strscpy doesn't require reading memory from the src string beyond the specified "count" bytes, and since the return value is easier to error-check than strlcpy()'s. In addition, the implementation is robust to the string changing out from underneath it, unlike the current strlcpy() implementation. Thus, We prefer using strscpy instead of strlcpy.
