fix default __strnlen_user macro
The existing __strnlen_user macro simply resolved to strnlen. However, the count returned by strnlen_user should include the NULL byte. This patch fixes the __strnlen_user macro to include the NULL byte in the count. Signed-off-by: Mark Salter <msalter@redhat.com> Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
