Subject: autofs4: fix string validation check order
From: Ian Kent <raven@xxxxxxxxxx>
In function validate_dev_ioctl() we check that the string we've been sent
is a valid path. The function that does this check assumes the string is
NULL terminated but our NULL termination check isn't done until after this
call. This patch changes the order of the check.
