[PATCH v2 1/2] lockfile.c: remove PATH_MAX limitation (except in resolve_symlink)

Something extra is, because struct lock_file is usually used as static variables in many places. This patch reduces bss section by about 80k bytes (or 23%) on Linux.

 This helps remove the length check in v1 of the next patch.
