audit_unix_addr() logs pathname unix addresses with
audit_log_untrustedstring(), which sizes the string with strlen().
The sockaddr passed to the LSM hook is not NUL-terminated:
__sys_bind() copies only addrlen bytes from userspace into an
on-stack buffer and leaves the tail uninitialized. A pathname
address without a NUL byte within addrlen makes strlen() run past
the stack object, and adjacent kernel stack contents end up in the
audit record. E.g. on mainline (05441d697f7f, KASAN build):

    BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in strlen+0x93/0xa0
    Read of size 1 at addr ffffc9000287fe98 by task poc/1004
    CPU: 3 UID: 1000 PID: 1004 Comm: poc
    Call Trace:
     strlen+0x93/0xa0
     audit_log_untrustedstring+0x19/0x30
     audit_net_cb+0x3cb/0x760
     aa_check_perms+0x19d/0x340
     aa_unix_bind_perm+0x73a/0xb60
     security_socket_bind+0x2c/0x60
     __sys_bind+0x103/0x200

Bound the string by the address length with strnlen(), matching
the abstract-address branch.

This issue was discovered by Tencent CodeBuddy Security.
