Ah, good catch! The traceprobe_parse_event_name() requires
MAX_EVENT_NAME_LEN buffer.

----
/* @buf must has MAX_EVENT_NAME_LEN size */
int traceprobe_parse_event_name(const char **pevent, const char **pgroup,
----

But the macro name is a bit confusing. We may need below and use it around.

#define EVENT_NAME_BUFSIZE (MAX_EVENT_NAME_LEN + 1)

Anyway, I think this fix is correct.
