In current code, we create line buffer with size 256, which can contains
255 ASCII characters. But in modern system, terminal can have larger
width. It may cause buffer overflow in snprintf() text.

limits.h provides constant LINE_MAX.

    {LINE_MAX}
        Unless otherwise noted, the maximum length, in bytes, of a
        utility's input line (either standard input or another
        file), when the utility is described as processing text
        files. The length includes room for the trailing <newline>.
        Minimum Acceptable Value: {_POSIX2_LINE_MAX}

Changes in v3:
- Use constant LINE_MAX in limits.h instead dynamic heap allocation.
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240915-fix-log-buffer-overflow-v2-1-fb6b52a7d4b2@gmail.com

Changes in v2:
- Add free() forgot in v1.
- Link to v1: https://patch.msgid.link/20240914-fix-log-buffer-overflow-v1-1-733cb4fff673@gmail.com
