The motivation behind this change is to use the returned full path
for lookup keys in BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH map.
bpf_d_path() prepend the path string from the end of the input
buffer, and call memmove() to copy the full path from the tail
buffer to the head of buffer before return. So although the
returned buffer string is NULL terminated, there is still
noise data at the tail of buffer.
If using the returned full path buffer as the key of hash map,
the noise data is also calculated and makes map lookup failed.
To resolve this problem, we could memset the noisy tail buffer
before return.
