Fix broken audit tests for exec arg len
The "fix" in commit 0b08c5e5944 ("audit: Fix check of return value of strnlen_user()") didn't fix anything, it broke things. As reported by Steven Rostedt: "Yes, strnlen_user() returns 0 on fault, but if you look at what len is set to, than you would notice that on fault len would be -1" because we just subtracted one from the return value. So testing against 0 doesn't test for a fault condition, it tests against a perfectly valid empty string. Also fix up the usual braindamage wrt using WARN_ON() inside a conditional - make it part of the conditional and remove the explicit unlikely() (which is already part of the WARN_ON*() logic, exactly so that you don't have to write unreadable code.
