PATCH 1/1 block: Replace deprecated strcpy in devt_from_devname

Use strnlen() and sizeof(s) instead of hard-coding 31 bytes.

strcpy() is deprecated 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.
