[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 8/9] ralloc: Use strnlen() inside of strncat()

[Thomas Helland]

From: Vladislav Egorov <vegorov180 at gmail.com>

If the str is long or isn't null-terminated, strlen() could take a lot
of time or even crash. I don't know why was it used in the first place,
maybe for platforms without strnlen(), but strnlen() is already used
inside of ralloc_strndup(), so this change should not additionally
break anything.
