In bpf_seq_printf() helper, when user specified a "%s" in the
format string, strncpy_from_unsafe() is used to read the actual string
to a buffer. The string could be a format string or a string in
the kernel data structure. It is really unlikely that the string
will reside in the user memory.
This is different from Commit b2a5212fb634 ("bpf: Restrict bpf_trace_printk()'s %s
usage and add %pks, %pus specifier") which still used
strncpy_from_unsafe() for "%s" to preserve the old behavior.
If in the future, bpf_seq_printf() indeed needs to read user
memory, we can implement "%pus" format string.
Based on discussion in [1], if the intent is to read kernel memory,
strncpy_from_unsafe_strict() should be used. So this patch
changed to use strncpy_from_unsafe_strict().
