Subject: tracing: Avoid string overflow

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

commit cf4d418e653afc84c9c873236033e06be5d58f1c upstream.

'err' is used as a NUL-terminated string, but using strncpy() with the length
equal to the buffer size may result in lack of the termination:

kernel/trace/trace_events_hist.c: In function 'hist_err_event':
kernel/trace/trace_events_hist.c:396:3: error: 'strncpy' specified bound 256 equals destination size [-Werror=stringop-truncation]
   strncpy(err, var, MAX_FILTER_STR_VAL);

This changes it to use the safer strscpy() instead.
