Increase size of the servername array to avoid truncated output warning.

net/sunrpc/clnt.c:582:75: error:‘%s’ directive output may be truncated
writing up to 107 bytes into a region of size 48

If we choose this approach to removing the warning, then we should use
UNIX_PATH_MAX rather than 108.
My negligence.
However the longest server name copied in here will in practice be
     /var/run/rpcbind.sock

so the extra 60 bytes on the stack is wasted ...  maybe that doesn't
matter.
I'm thinking  about use a dynamic space alloc method like kasprintf to
avoid space waste.
The string is only used by xprt_create_transport() which requires it to
be less than RPC_MAXNETNAMELEN - which is 256.
So maybe that would be a better value to use for the array size ....  if
we assume that stack space isn't a problem.
Thank you for the detailed explanation. I read the
xprt_create_transport,  the RPC_MAXNETNAMELEN

is only use to xprt_create_transport .

What ever number we use, I'd rather it was a defined constant, and not
an apparently arbitrary number.
Whether we could check the sun->sun_path length before using snprintf?
The array size should smaller

than  the minimum of sun->sun_path and RPC_MAXNETNAMELEN.

Or use the dynamic space allocate method to save space.
I think that dynamically allocating space is not a good idea.  It means
you have to handle failure which is just a waste of code.

I'd suggest simply changing the array to RPC_MAXNETNAMELEN.
I'll follow your suggestion and change it in v2.
