[PATCH v2] riscv: lib: Fix ZBB strnlen wrap-around regression on huge counts

[shao.mingyin]

From: Shao Mingyin <shao.mingyin@xxxxxxxxxx>

The aligned scan boundary is derived from the last valid byte,
(s + count - 1).  When count is huge (e.g. SIZE_MAX, which FORTIFY
strcat/strlcat pass when the destination size is not known at compile
time), s + count wraps around and the boundary lands before s, so the
ZBB path returns a bogus length.  The original implementation
(5ba15d419fab) had the same wrap-around in its (s + count) & ~7
boundary computation; after 5d588c684833 the wrapped boundary is caught
by the pre-loop guard "bgeu t0, t4, 2f", which then always exits for
aligned strings of 8 or more characters and strnlen() returns 8
instead of the real length.

This silently truncates strings built by fortified strcat: the dm
sysfs name attribute shows "live-bas" instead of "live-base", the
truncated name pollutes the udev database, and blivet/anaconda (as
well as LVM/dm-crypt/multipath userspace) break on RISC-V systems.

Detect the wrap-around and saturate the boundary to the top of the
address space, making the scan equivalent to strlen().  Normal counts
are unaffected.

Fixes: 5ba15d419fab ("riscv: lib: add strnlen() implementation")

Changes in v2:
- Point Fixes: at the original implementation (5ba15d419fab) and reword
  the commit message accordingly: the wrap-around exists since the
  original implementation, 5d588c684833 only changed how it surfaces
  (Michael Neuling).
- Add Acked-by from Michael Neuling.
