3.16.44-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Amey Telawane <ameyt@codeaurora.org>

commit e09e28671cda63e6308b31798b997639120e2a21 upstream.

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().
