For strnlen(), if the compiler detects that the maxlen argument exceeds
the valid memory size of the input string object, a compilation error may
occur.

For lastest linux-next source, changing ppc_kallsyms_lookup_name() to
__always_inline,

So, there is no issue in upstream without the mentioned change, right?

Yes. However, before the commit 889b3c1245de48ed0cac ("compiler: remove
CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING entirely") is merged, inline will be changed to
__always_inline, and this error will be directly triggered.
