Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Fix misuse of strncpy to copy boot params

While copying ftrace string boot parameters into buffers, we
use strncpy by passing the whole buffer size instead of the max
strlen the buffers can host (which is buffer size - 1), this might
lead to non-null terminated strings.

Fix that by simply using strlcpy instead.
