I don't think this is correct because if you hit maxlen you will add one
to it. e.g. __strnlen_user("abcd\0", 3) would return 4 instead of 3.

It should probably be something like this:

#define __strnlen_user(s, n) ({ \
size_t k = strnlen(s, n); \
k< n ? k + 1 : n; })


I wonder if this change will break anything since it has been incorrect
(according to the comment in uaccess.h at least) for a while. Why does
__strnlen_user have different semantics to strnlen anway?
