orangefs_prepare_debugfs_help_string() constructs the debugfs help text in a dynamically allocated buffer using repeated strlcat() calls across keyword loops, rescanning the buffer on every append. In preparation for removing the deprecated strlcat() API[1], use struct seq_buf to build the help string. This tracks the write position across the loops, allows formatting each keyword line with a single seq_buf_printf() call, and checks for truncation via seq_buf_has_overflowed(). Additionally, replace the final strlcat() call that copies the completed string into debug_help_string with strscpy().
