[PATCH] Fix strlen_user usage in module.c

[Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>]

Spotted by Andi Kleen.  strlen_user *is* documented, I just made
assumptions.

Name: Fix strlen_user usage
Author: Rusty Russell
Status: Trivial

D: strlen_user returns 0 on error, not an error number, and otherwise
D: returns the length including the NUL byte.  Found by Andi Kleen.
