bpf: Use strncpy_from_unsafe_strict() in bpf_seq_printf() helper
In bpf_seq_printf() helper, when user specified a "%s" in the format string, strncpy_from_unsafe() is used to read the actual string to a buffer. The string could be a format string or a string in the kernel data structure. It is really unlikely that the string will reside in the user memory. This is different from Commit b2a5212fb634 ("bpf: Restrict bpf_trace_printk()'s %s usage and add %pks, %pus specifier") which still used strncpy_from_unsafe() for "%s" to preserve the old behavior. If in the future, bpf_seq_printf() indeed needs to read user memory, we can implement "%pus" format string. Based on discussion in [1], if the intent is to read kernel memory, strncpy_from_unsafe_strict() should be used. So this patch changed to use strncpy_from_unsafe_strict().
