Check to make sure len is always less than MAX_PATH,
otherwise an overread will occur, which is
undefined behavior.

The documentation for xutftowcs_path() says

/**
 * Simplified file system specific variant of xutftowcsn, assumes output
 * buffer size is MAX_PATH wide chars and input string is \0-terminated,
 * fails with ENAMETOOLONG if input string is too long.
 */

Looking at the implementation it seems it does check the length so I don't think we need this change. I haven't looked into why 0217569bb2d (Win32: Unicode file name support (dirent), 2012-01-14) changed the length check from "len + 2 >= MAX_PATH" though.
