ext4: use memcpy() instead of strcpy()

Browse source

The strcpy() function is considered dangerous and eeeevil by people
who are using sophisticated code analysis tools such as "grep".  This
is true even when a quick inspection would show that the source is a
constant string ("." or "..") and the destination is a fixed array
which is guaranteed to have enough space.  Make the "grep" code
analysis tool happy by using memcpy() isstead of strcpy().  :-)
