Subject: [Linaro-uefi] [PATCH] MdePkg: ensure SafeString length functions don't 
access beyond MaxSize

The StrnLenS and AsciiStrnLenS functions, when presented with a string with no 
terminating NULL in the first MaxSize characters will check the character at 
String[MaxSize] before checking if Length < MaxSize.
(They return the correct value, but have accessed beyond the stated limit in 
the process.)

Flip the order of the tests to prevent this behaviour.
