Since we don't, it doesn't feel worth the bother. Reviewed-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com>

If the tracefs mountpoint has a very long path we may exceed PATH_MAX. This is a system misconfiguration and the user must resolve it so that applications can perform path-based system calls successfully. This issue does not occur on real-world systems since tracefs is mounted on /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/, but the compiler is smart enough to foresee the possibility and warn about the unchecked snprintf(3) return value. This patch fixes the compiler warning.
