Series realpath: Set errno to ENAMETOOLONG for result larger than PATH_MAX [BZ #28770] | expand

Commit Message

realpath returns an allocated string when the result exceeds PATH_MAX,
which is unexpected when its second argument is not NULL.  This results
in the second argument (resolved) being uninitialized and also results
in a memory leak since the caller expects resolved to be the same as the
returned value.

Return NULL and set errno to ENAMETOOLONG if the result exceeds
PATH_MAX.  This fixes [BZ #28770], which is CVE-2021-3998.
