Subject[PATCH] modpost: fix buffer overflow
I got SIGABRT in modpost when building a module really deeply nested in
a filesystem (path > 100 chars):

> Building modules, stage 2.
> MODPOST
> *** glibc detected *** scripts/mod/modpost: realloc(): invalid next size: 0x0809f588 ***
> [...]

This patch fixes that problem.
