I think maxlen <= 0 is correct indepent of what follows next, because
maxlen is the length of a string and a valid string has a minimal length
of one byte ('\0').
Next we shouldn't look at bytes exceeding maxlen, so indeed
strnlen(name, maxlen) should be correct. When changing this we have
to adjust the following if (len > maxlen) check to >=.
