The strncpy causes a warning [-Wstringop-truncation] here,
which indicates that it never appends a NUL byte to the path.
The NUL byte is only there because the buffer is allocated
with kzalloc(PAGE_SIZE, GFP_KERNEL), but since the range-check
is also off-by-one, and PAGE_SIZE==PATH_MAX the returned string
will not be zero-terminated if it is exactly PATH_MAX characters.
Furthermore also the initial loop may theoretically exceed PATH_MAX
and cause a fault.
