Check that path buffer has correct length (it is non-zero and in UNICODE
mode it has even number of bytes) and check that buffer does not contain
null character (UTF-16 null codepoint in UNICODE mode or null byte in
non-unicode mode) because Linux cannot process symlink with null byte.

This looks like one of the more important of the fixes of this series
- let me know if any thoughts or Reviewed-by/Acked-by on it. I may
try to send this earlier than the others
Pali,
Let me know if I missed dependencies that this patch depends on

This one should be fine. I do not see any dependency for this change.
