Use kzalloc here otherwise the end of name could be some random thing and
strlen() will read past the end of the memory.  Thanks,

I don't understand what you think can happen...

+        strcpy(name, XATTR_SECURITY_PREFIX);
+        strcpy(name + XATTR_SECURITY_PREFIX_LEN, suffix);

always forces "name" to be \0 terminated.
