Subject: [PATCH][REPOST] Check maxlen on strnlen_user usage

strnlen_user returns the length of the string including the nul 
terminator. In the case where maxlen is reached strnlen_user returns 
maxlen + 1. Most callsites already check for this condition. Fix the 
call to strnlen_user in fs/exec.c to check for the maxlen case.
