I believe it's enough and I'm not aware of any bug there so no backport
is required.

I added checks in places that were (a) checking for U_FAILURE; and (b)
expecting the result to be NUL-terminated. That's mostly callers of
uloc_getLanguage(), where I was not quite paranoid enough.

There were a couple other places though, and I went ahead and added
checks there out of paranoia, too. One was ucnv_fromUChars(), and the
other was uloc_canonicalize().
