strlcpy() reads the entire source buffer first. This read may exceed the
destination size limit. This is both inefficient and can lead to linear
read overflows if a source string is not NUL-terminated.
Also, the strnlen() call does not avoid the read overflow in the strlcpy
function when a not NUL-terminated string is passed.
So, replace this block by a call to kstrndup() that avoids this type of
overflow and does the same.
