Subject: [PATCH] trace: events: cleanup deprecated strncpy uses

strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings
[1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string
interfaces.

For 2 out of 3 of these changes we can simply swap in strscpy() as it
guarantess NUL-termination which is needed for the following trace
print.

trace_rpcgss_context() should use memcpy as its format specifier %.*s
allows for the length to be specifier (__entry->len). Due to this,
acceptor does not technically need to be NUL-terminated. Moreover,
swapping in strscpy() and keeping everything else the same could result
in truncation of the source string by one byte. To remedy this, we could
use `len + 1` but I am unsure of the size of the destination buffer so a
simple memcpy should suffice.

|		__entry->window_size, __entry->expiry, __entry->now,
|		__entry->timeout, __entry->len, __get_str(acceptor))

I suspect acceptor not to naturally be a NUL-terminated string due to
the presence of some stringify methods.
