Use 'strlen' of the string, add one for NUL terminator and simply do 'copy_to_user' instead of the explicit 'for' loop. This makes the KDGKBSENT case more compact. The only thing we need to take care about is NULL 'func_table[i]'. Use an empty string in that case. The original check for overflow could never trigger as the func_buf strings are always shorter or equal to 'struct kbsentry's.
