Subject: [PATCH] kdb: kdb_support: replace strcpy() by strscpy()

The strcpy() function is being deprecated. Replace it by the safer
strscpy() and fix the following Coverity warning:

"You might overrun the 129-character fixed-size string ks_namebuf
by copying name without checking the length."

Addresses-Coverity-ID: 138995 ("Copy into fixed size buffer")
