[qemu-s390x] [PULL 1/7] trace: handle tracefs path truncation

[Stefan Hajnoczi]

If the tracefs mountpoint has a very long path we may exceed PATH_MAX.
This is a system misconfiguration and the user must resolve it so that
applications can perform path-based system calls successfully.

This issue does not occur on real-world systems since tracefs is mounted
on /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/, but the compiler is smart enough to
foresee the possibility and warn about the unchecked snprintf(3) return
value.  This patch fixes the compiler warning.
