This costs a strlen() call when instatianating a symlink.
Preferably it would be hidden behind VFS_WARN_ON (or compatible), but
there is no such facility at the moment. With the facility in place the
call can be patched out in production kernels.
In the meantime, since the cost is being paid unconditionally, use the
result to a fixup the bad caller.
This is not expected to persist in the long run (tm).
Sample splat:
bad length passed for symlink [/tmp/syz-imagegen43743633/file0/file0] (got 131109, expected 37)
