Subject: [PATCH 4.4 170/192] ovl: listxattr: use strnlen()

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

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

From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@...hat.com>

commit 7cb35119d067191ce9ebc380a599db0b03cbd9d9 upstream.

Be defensive about what underlying fs provides us in the returned xattr
list buffer.  If it's not properly null terminated, bail out with a warning
insead of BUG.
