[PATCH 05/11] qnx: avoid -Wstringop-overread warning

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd at arndb.de>

gcc-11 warns that the size of the link name is longer than the di_fname
field:

fs/qnx4/dir.c: In function ‘qnx4_readdir’:
fs/qnx4/dir.c:51:32: error: ‘strnlen’ specified bound 48 exceeds source size 16 [-Werror=stringop-overread]
   51 |                         size = strnlen(de->di_fname, size);
      |                                ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In file included from fs/qnx4/qnx4.h:3,
                 from fs/qnx4/dir.c:16:
include/uapi/linux/qnx4_fs.h:45:25: note: source object declared here
   45 |         char            di_fname[QNX4_SHORT_NAME_MAX];

The problem here is that we access the same pointer using two different
structure layouts, but gcc determines the object size based on
whatever it encounters first.

Change the strnlen to use the correct field size in each case, and
change the first access to be on the longer field.
