      We don't export any symbols > 128 characters, but if we did then
      kallsyms_expand_symbol() would overflow the buffer handed to it.
      So we need check destination buffer length when copying.
    
      the related test:
        if we define an EXPORT function which name more than 128.
        will panic when call kallsyms_lookup_name by init_kprobes on booting.
        after check the length (provide this patch), it is ok.
    
      Implementaion:
        add additional destination buffer length parameter (maxlen)
        if uncompressed string is too long (>= maxlen), it will be truncated.
        not check the parameters whether valid, since it is a static function.
