The aligned_byte_mask() definition is wrong for 32-bit big-endian
machines: the "7-(n)" part of the definition assumes a long is 8
bytes. This fixes it by using BITS_PER_LONG - 8 instead of 8*7.
Tested on 32-bit and 64-bit PowerPC.

This adds a new generic optimized strnlen_user() function that uses the
<asm/word-at-a-time.h> infrastructure to portably do efficient string
handling.
In many ways, strnlen is much simpler than strncpy, and in particular we
can always pre-align the words we load from memory. That means that all
the worries about alignment etc are a non-issue, so this one can easily
be used on any architecture. You obviously do have to do the
appropriate word-at-a-time.h macros.
