commit 42520df65bf67189541a425f7d36b0b3e7bd7844 upstream.

The hfsplus_strcasecmp() logic can trigger the issue:

[ 117.388918][ T9855] ==================================================================

The issue takes place if the length field of struct hfsplus_unistr
is bigger than HFSPLUS_MAX_STRLEN. The patch simply checks
the length of comparing strings. And if the strings' length
is bigger than HFSPLUS_MAX_STRLEN, then it is corrected
to this value.

v2
The string length correction has been added for hfsplus_strcmp().
