/**
 * strnlen_user: - Get the size of a user string INCLUDING final NUL.
 * @str: The string to measure.
 * @count: Maximum count (including NUL character)
 *
 * Context: User context only. This function may sleep if pagefaults are
 *          enabled.
 *
 * Get the size of a NUL-terminated string in user space.
 *
 * Returns the size of the string INCLUDING the terminating NUL.
 * If the string is too long, returns a number larger than @count. User
 * has to check the return value against "> count".
 * On exception (or invalid count), returns 0.
 *
 * NOTE! You should basically never use this function. There is
 * almost never any valid case for using the length of a user space
 * string, since the string can be changed at any time by other
 * threads. Use "strncpy_from_user()" instead to get a stable copy
 * of the string.
