Suchit Karunakaran 99b70ece33 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/.
