[053/103] ocfs2: Dont walk off the end of fast symlinks.

From: Greg KH

2.6.35-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

From: Joel Becker <joel.becker@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 1fc8a117865b54590acd773a55fbac9221b018f0 upstream.

ocfs2 fast symlinks are NUL terminated strings stored inline in the
inode data area. However, disk corruption or a local attacker could, in
theory, remove that NUL. Because we're using strlen() (my fault,
introduced in a731d1 when removing vfs_follow_link()), we could walk off
the end of that string.
