Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo fe63d3bca2 perf machine: Use snprintf() for guestmount path construction
machines__findnew() and machines__create_guest_kernel_maps() use
sprintf() to build paths by prepending symbol_conf.guestmount.
Both write into PATH_MAX stack buffers, but guestmount comes from
user configuration and is not length-checked.  A guestmount path
at or near PATH_MAX causes a stack buffer overflow.

Switch to snprintf() with sizeof() to prevent overflow.  The
subsequent access()/fopen() calls will fail on a truncated path.
