vt: Replace strlcpy with strscpy

Browse source 
strlcpy() reads the entire source buffer first and returns the size of
the source string, not the destination string, which can be accidentally
misused [1].

The copy_to_user() call uses @len returned from strlcpy() directly
without checking its value. This could potentially lead to read
overflow. There is no existing bug since @len is always guaranteed to be
greater than hardcoded strings in @func_table[kb_func]. But as written
it is very fragile and specifically uses a strlcpy() result without sanity
checking and using it to copy to userspace.

In an effort to remove strlcpy() completely [2], replace
strlcpy() here with strscpy().
