Replace the deprecated strcpy() [1] with strscpy() to bound the copy to
the allocated buffer size.
Also use a simple while loop to reduce code indentation.

Use a flexible array member for the function name and allocate it
together with the blacklist entry. This removes the pointer and saves
one allocation call per blacklist entry.
