This is an interim fix for a regression introduced by:

    commit dc5a137125d6ac641c566f10e68bf6e1fe31bcb5
    qemu-img: make "info" backing file output correct and easier to use

In that commit, bdrv_get_full_backing_filename() was introduced,
which replaced calling path_combine() manually.  The difference
is that rather than using the filename string as passed to
bdrv_open(), it uses the filename string attached to the BDS.

Both the backing_file and filename strings in the BDS are limited to
1024 characters.  The backing_file string built up in bdrv_open(),
however, has a limit of PATH_MAX, which is 4096 under Linux.

This difference comes into play when using an image chain that has
a medium-to-large number of images, all of which have relative-pathed
backing file references to the parent directory.

For instance, consider the following backing chain:

tstA
├── base.qcow2
├── sn1.qcow2   (backing file ../tstA/base.qcow2)
├── sn2.qcow2   (backing file ../tstA/sn1.qcow2)
└── sn3.qcow2   (backing file ../tstA/sn2.qcow2)

The backing filename string is built up with the relative paths intact,
like so:

    base.qcow2:  ../tstA../tstA../tstA/base.qcow2

The backing filename is then passed into the bdrv_open() call to open
the backing file.

When using lv volume names, the snapshot and pathname ends up longer,
and after ~23 snapshots we have hit or exceeded the 1024 byte limit
for the BDS filename.

This fix is different then the approach for RHEL6.6/6.5.z, because in
those it was trivial to modify bdrv_get_full_backing_filename().  In
RHEL7, there are places that use bdrv_get_backing_filename(), which
call bdrv_get_full_backing_filename(), yet do not have access to a
filename string that does not originate from the BDS.  The simplest
approach, that should yield identical results, is to set all of the
filename and backing_file string sizes to PATH_MAX instead of 1024.

This is not a long-term solution, because a character limit of 4096
bytes will be hit with additional images.  The proper long-term
solution should happen upstream first, and consist of:

1) dynamically allocated filename strings in the BDS
2) flattening redundant relative pathname strings

This is a bug that was reported in RHEL6, that also occurs in RHEL7.  To
prevent a regression in RHEL7.0, this temporary solution will prevent
the regression, while not eliminating the ultimate problem.

Since this is not the final solution, and the fix really is relevant
just to undo a regression, the fix is downstream only.  It will be
replaced by the final upstream fix, once complete.
