Subject: objtool/klp: fix mkstemp() failure with long paths

From: Joe Lawrence <joe.lawrence@redhat.com>

[ Upstream commit 28e367a969b0c54c87ca655ec180715fe469fd14 ]

The elf_create_file() function fails with EINVAL when the build directory
path is long enough to truncate the "XXXXXX" suffix in the 256-byte
tmp_name buffer.

Simplify the code to remove the unnecessary dirname()/basename() split
and concatenation.  Instead, allocate the exact number of bytes needed for
the path.
