In our experiments blktrace/blkparse file names encode a lot of infomation about
the particular experiment. We noticed that for long enough file names blkparse
does not work.
The reason is that per_cpu_info->fname[] is of 128 bytes. As a result, in
setup_file() function only part of the file name gets to ->fname[]. Then stat()
fails and we exit the function. Notice, that no error is printed in this case.
In the following patch ->fname[] size is increased to POSXI defined PATH_MAX.
