PATCH RESEND 1/1 block: Replace deprecated strcpy() in devt_from_devname()

strcpy() is deprecated [1] and uses an additional strlen() internally; use memcpy() directly since we already know the length of name and that it is guaranteed to be NUL-terminated. Also use strnlen() and sizeof() instead of the hard-coded size while at it.
