On macOS passing `-s /tmp/vhost.socket` parameter to the vhost-user-blk
application, the bind was done on `/tmp/vhost.socke` pathname,
missing the last character.
This sounds like one of the portability problems described in the
unix(7) manpage:
Pathname sockets
When binding a socket to a pathname, a few rules should
be observed for maximum portability and ease of coding:
• The pathname in sun_path should be null-terminated.
• The length of the pathname, including the terminating
null byte, should not exceed the size of sun_path.
• The addrlen argument that describes the enclosing
sockaddr_un structure should have a value of at least:
offsetof(struct sockaddr_un, sun_path) +
strlen(addr.sun_path)+1
or, more simply, addrlen can be specified as
sizeof(struct sockaddr_un).
So let's follow the last advice and simplify the code as well.
