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.
