PATCH 1/1 ecryptfs: Replace memcpy + NUL termination in ecryptfs_new_file_context

Use strscpy() to copy the NUL-terminated '->global_default_cipher_name' to the destination buffer instead of using memcpy() followed by a manual NUL termination. Remove the now-unused local variable 'cipher_name_len'.
