[PATCH] checkpatch: suppress strscpy warnings for userspace tools

[Suchit Karunakaran]

The checkpatch.pl script currently warns against the use of strcpy, 
strlcpy, and strncpy, recommending strscpy as a safer alternative. 
However, these warnings are also triggered for code under tools/ and 
scripts/, which are userspace code where strscpy is not available. 
This patch suppresses these warnings for files in tools/ and scripts/.
