[PATCH] ext4: pass strlen() of the symlink instead of i_size to inode_set_cached_link()

[Mateusz Guzik <mjguzik@gmail.com>]

The call to nd_terminate_link() clamps the size to min(i_size,
sizeof(ei->i_data) - 1), while the subsequent call to
inode_set_cached_link() fails the possible update.

The kernel used to always strlen(), so do it now as well.

Per my comments in:

There is definitely a pre-existing bug in ext4 which the above happens
to run into. I suspect the nd_terminate_link thing will disappear once
that gets sorted out.

In the meantime the appropriate fix for 6.14 is to restore the original
behavior of issuing strlen.

syzbot verified the issue is fixed:
