Jamal reported a segfault in bpf_make_custom_path() when custom pinning is

asprintf when dealing with long buffers").

As the only goal of that commit is to get rid of a truncation warning when
compiling lib/bpf.c, revert it and fix the warning checking for snprintf
return value

FWIW, it may be useful to grep the tree and check for
s[n]printf() return code.
It seems like modern compilers are good enough at catching
overruns but maybe useful to enforce a coding style consistency
given that most people doit the LinuxWay (cutnpaste existing
code to fix a bug or add a feature).

cheers,
