[PATCH 16/22] commit_lock_file(): don't work with a fixed-length buffer

[Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu>]

Allocate temporary space to hold result_file instead of storing it in
a fixed-length buffer.  This removes the last arbitrary path-length
limitation, so remove the path length check in lock_file().
