[PATCH v2] selftests/x86/lam: Zero out buffer for readlink()

[Binbin Wu]

Zero out the buffer for readlink() since readlink() does not append a
terminating null byte to the buffer.  Also change the buffer length
passed to readlink() to 'PATH_MAX - 1' to ensure the resulting string
is always null terminated.

Fixes: 833c12ce0f430 ("selftests/x86/lam: Add inherit test cases for linear-address masking")

- Change the buffer length passed to readlink() to 'PATH_MAX - 1' to ensure the
  resulting string is always null terminated. [Kirill]
