Subject: [PATCH bpf] samples/bpf: suppress compiler warning

GCC 9 fails to calculate the size of local constant strings and produces a
false positive:

samples/bpf/task_fd_query_user.c: In function ‘test_debug_fs_uprobe’:
samples/bpf/task_fd_query_user.c:242:67: warning: ‘%s’ directive output may be truncated writing up to 255 bytes into a region of size 215 [-Wformat-truncation=]
  242 |  snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/%ss/%s/id",
      |                                                                   ^~
  243 |    event_type, event_alias);
      |                ~~~~~~~~~~~
samples/bpf/task_fd_query_user.c:242:2: note: ‘snprintf’ output between 45 and 300 bytes into a destination of size 256
  242 |  snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/%ss/%s/id",
      |  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  243 |    event_type, event_alias);
      |    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Workaround this by lowering the buffer size to a reasonable value.
