A temporary buffer storing the dump filename (-f) is smaller than
the otherwise allowed pathname length. This buffer is used to
extract the pathname from additional parameters specified as part
of the -f argument. As these parameters are an undocumented and
unused extension of the -f argument, simply remove this code.
Note that drive_alloc() always dups the given pathname, so
'optarg' is passed directly.

If someone happens to put something starting with a comma
after the device path name, will it simply fail because
a device by that name (comma included) won't exist?

xfsdump creates the file if it does not exist, so you would
end up with a comma in the dump filename.

Thanks,

Either way, this looks good.  I'll hold off a bit before
taking this in, in case someone else wants a chance to
review.
