Subject: [PATCH] ima: fix off-by-one comparison on template name length

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

The comparison of dr_v1->template_name_len is off-by-one, so
currently if the length is MAX_TEMPLATE_NAME_LEN we end up
with an out-of-bounds write on template_name when the terminating
zero character is written. Fix the comparison.
