Subject: [PATCH] string: Adjust strtomem_pad() logic to allow for smaller sources

Arnd noticed we have a case where a shorter source string is being copied
into a destination byte array, but this results in a strnlen() call that
exceeds the size of the source. This is seen with -Wstringop-overread:

In file included from ../include/linux/uuid.h:11,
                 from ../include/linux/mod_devicetable.h:14,
                 from ../include/linux/cpufeature.h:12,
                 from ../arch/x86/coco/tdx/tdx.c:7:
../arch/x86/coco/tdx/tdx.c: In function 'tdx_panic.constprop':
../include/linux/string.h:284:9: error: 'strnlen' specified bound 64 exceeds source size 60 [-Werror=stringop-overread]
  284 |         memcpy_and_pad(dest, _dest_len, src, strnlen(src, _dest_len), pad); \
      |         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
../arch/x86/coco/tdx/tdx.c:124:9: note: in expansion of macro 'strtomem_pad'
  124 |         strtomem_pad(message.str, msg, '\0');
      |         ^~~~~~~~~~~~

Use the smaller of the two buffer sizes when calling strnlen(). When
src length is unknown (SIZE_MAX), it will use dest length, which is what
the original code did.
