Subject: [PATCH 6/6] lib: Add function strscpy_from_user()

Currently we have strncpy_from_userspace().  If the user string is
longer than the destination kernel buffer we get an error code -EFAULT.
We are unable to recover from here because this is the same error
returned if the access to userspace fails totally.

There is no reason we cannot continue execution with the user string
truncated.

Add a function strscpy_from_user() that guarantees the string written is
null-terminated.  If user string is longer than destination buffer
truncates the string.  Returns the number of characters written
excluding the null-terminator.
