Avoid use of strlen in getlogin_r (bug 22447).
Building glibc with current mainline GCC fails, among other reasons, because of an error for use of strlen on the nonstring ut_user field. This patch changes the problem code in getlogin_r to use __strnlen instead. It also needs to set the trailing NUL byte of the result explicitly, because of the case where ut_user does not have such a trailing NUL byte (but the result should always have one). Tested for x86_64. Also tested that, in conjunction with <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2017-11/msg00797.html>, it fixes the build for arm with mainline GCC. [BZ #22447] * sysdeps/unix/getlogin_r.c (__getlogin_r): Use __strnlen not strlen to compute length of ut_user and set trailing NUL byte of result explicitly.
