[PATCH] linux-user: Fix openat() emulation to correctly detect accesses to /proc

[PATCH] linux-user: Fix openat() emulation to correctly detect accesses to /proc

[Helge Deller]

In qemu we catch accesses to files like /proc/cpuinfo or /proc/net/route
and return to the guest contents which would be visible on a real system
(instead what the host would show).

This patch fixes a bug, where for example the accesses
    cat /proc////cpuinfo
or
    cd /proc && cat cpuinfo
will not be recognized by qemu and where qemu will wrongly show
the contents of the host's /proc/cpuinfo file.

No PATH_MAX buffers declared on the stack please.

QEMU relies on the extended semantics of realpath() where passing NULL
for 'proc_name' causes it to allocate a buffer of the correct size and
return the new buffer. Using that avoids PATH_MAX variables.
