CIFS: Fix a potencially linear read overflow
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. Also, the strnlen() call does not avoid the read overflow in the strlcpy function when a not NUL-terminated string is passed. So, replace this block by a call to kstrndup() that avoids this type of overflow and does the same.
