tracing: Use strlcpy() instead of strcpy() in __trace_find_cmdline()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Strcpy is inherently not safe, and strlcpy() should be used instead.
__trace_find_cmdline() uses strcpy() because the comms saved must have a
terminating nul character, but it doesn't hurt to add the extra protection
of using strlcpy() instead of strcpy().
