Subject: [PATCH] perf tools: Replace strlcpy with strscpy

Replace the deprecated strlcpy function with the preferred strscpy
function in tools/perf/util/machine.c.

strlcpy is deprecated and should be replaced with strscpy according
to kernel best practices. The strscpy function is safer and is the
recommended replacement.
