proc: use strnlen() for name validation in __proc_create

Replace strlen(fn) with strnlen(fn, NAME_MAX + 1) when validating the
final path component in __proc_create().

This preserves the existing name limit while bounding the length scan to
one byte past the maximum name length.  Handle empty names separately, and
treat names longer than NAME_MAX as too long.
