[PATCH] fortify: strnlen: Call fortify_panic() only if the number of bytes read is greater than maxlen

From: sel4

From: Brandon Luo <sel4@xxxxxxxxxx>

If the number of bytes read is p_size and p_size is less than maxlen,
fortify_panic() will be called incorrectly. Only panic if the number of
bytes read is greater than the minimum of p_size and maxlen since that is
the argument to __real_strnlen().
