Feng Yang 4dde20b1aa libbpf: Fix event name too long error
When the binary path is excessively long, the generated probe_name in libbpf
exceeds the kernel's MAX_EVENT_NAME_LEN limit (64 bytes).
This causes legacy uprobe event attachment to fail with error code -22.

The fix reorders the fields to place the unique ID before the name.
This ensures that even if truncation occurs via snprintf, the unique ID
remains intact, preserving event name uniqueness. Additionally, explicit
checks with MAX_EVENT_NAME_LEN are added to enforce length constraints.

Before Fix:
	./test_progs -t attach_probe/kprobe-long_name
	......
	libbpf: failed to add legacy kprobe event for 'bpf_testmod_looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong_name+0x0': -EINVAL

	test_attach_probe:PASS:uprobe_ref_ctr_cleanup 0 nsec

	./test_progs -t attach_probe/uprobe-long_name

After Fix:
	./test_progs -t attach_probe/uprobe-long_name
	#13/10   attach_probe/uprobe-long_name:OK
	#13      attach_probe:OK

	./test_progs -t attach_probe/kprobe-long_name
	#13/11   attach_probe/kprobe-long_name:OK
	#13      attach_probe:OK
	Summary: 1/1 PASSED, 0 SKIPPED, 0 FAILED

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
