apparmor: Replace deprecated strcpy with memcpy in gen_symlink_name

strcpy() is deprecated; use memcpy() instead. Unlike strcpy(), memcpy()
does not copy the NUL terminator from the source string, which would be
overwritten anyway on every iteration when using strcpy(). snprintf()
then ensures that 'char *s' is NUL-terminated.

Replace the hard-coded path length to remove the magic number 6, and add
a comment explaining the extra 11 bytes.
