[PATCH] uml - fix incorrect assumptions about max pid length

From: Maciej Żenczykowski <maze at google.com>

Fixes: is_umdir_used - pid filename too long

pids are no longer limited to 16-bits, bump to 32-bits,
ie. 9 decimal characters.  Additionally sizeof("/") already
returns 2 - ie. it already accounts for trailing zero.
