Subject: [PATCH] asm-generic headers: add arch-specific __strnlen_user calling in uaccess.h

From: Guan Xuetao <guanxuetao@...c.pku.edu.cn>

	This patch changes the implementation of strnlen_user in include/asm-generic/uaccess.h.
	Originally, it calls strlen() function directly, which may not correctly handle the access of
	user space in most mmu-enabled architectures.
	New __strnlen_user is added for using as an architecture specific function.
