  Current version of Linux kernel checkpatch now complains about
usages of strlcpy because the Linux kernel prefers strcspy.

WARNING:STRLCPY: Prefer strscpy over strlcpy

But DPDK project allows strlcpy, therefore suppress the warning.

There is yet another typo that I fixed: strcspy -> strscpy

Applied, thanks.
