[PATCH 3.13.y-ckt 32/56] lib: Fix strnlen_user() to not touch memory after specified maximum

[Kamal Mostafa]

3.13.11-ckt23 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx>

commit f18c34e483ff6b1d9866472221e4015b3a4698e4 upstream.

If the specified maximum length of the string is a multiple of unsigned
long, we would load one long behind the specified maximum.  If that
happens to be in a next page, we can hit a page fault although we were
not expected to.

Fix the off-by-one bug in the test whether we are at the end of the
specified range.
