checkpatch: suppress strscpy warnings for userspace tools
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 utilities where strscpy is not available. This patch suppresses these warnings for files in tools/ and scripts/.
