[PATCH] drm/xe: replace format-less snprintf() with strscpy()

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd at arndb.de>

Using snprintf() with a format string from task->comm is a bit
dangerous since the string may be controlled by unprivileged
userspace:

drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_devcoredump.c: In function 'devcoredump_snapshot':
drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_devcoredump.c:184:9: error: format not a string literal and no format arguments [-Werror=format-security]
  184 |         snprintf(ss->process_name, sizeof(ss->process_name), process_name);
      |         ^~~~~~~~

In this case there is no reason for an snprintf(), so use a simpler
string copy.

Fixes: b10d0c5e9df7 ("drm/xe: Add process name to devcoredump")
