[PATCH] x86/insn_decoder_test: allow longer symbol-names

Increase the allowed line-length of the insn-decoder-test to 4k to allow
for symbol-names longer than 256 characters.

The insn-decoder-test takes objdump output as input, which may contain
symbol-names as instruction arguments. With rust-code entering the
kernel, those symbol-names will include mangled-symbols which might
exceed the current line-length-limit of the tool.

By bumping the line-length-limit of the tool to 4k, we get a reasonable
buffer for all objdump outputs I have seen so far. Unfortunately, ELF
symbol-names are not restricted in length, so technically this might
still end up failing if we encounter longer names in the future.

My compile-failure looks like this:

arch/x86/tools/insn_decoder_test: error: malformed line 1152000:

..which overflowed by 10 characters reading this line:
