SUNRPC: Replace strlcpy() with strscpy()

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[1].
Additionally, it returns the size of the source string, not the
resulting size of the destination string. In an effort to remove strlcpy()
completely[2], replace strlcpy() here with strscpy().

Explicitly handle the truncation case by returning the size of the
resulting string.

If "nodename" was ever longer than sizeof(clnt->cl_nodename) - 1, this
change will fix a bug where clnt->cl_nodelen would end up thinking there
were more characters in clnt->cl_nodename than there actually were,
which might have lead to kernel memory content exposures.
