Fix incorrect strnlen length in aa_load.c load_policy_dir

Browse source 
POSIX states that d_name has up to NAME_MAX (255) characters, and glibc
stores d_name as an array of size NAME_MAX+1 (256). Thus, supplying
PATH_MAX (4096) as the max length could trigger a buffer overrun. This
could be an even bigger issue on other libcs, as POSIX states that d_name
can be unsized.

Fortunately, this does not seem to cause actual issues, as the length is
only used to compare d_name to a short fixed string. However, it'd be better
to pass the actual correct max length to strnlen.
