tracing: Avoid string overflow
'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.
