[dpdk-dev] eal/log: fix memory corruption

[Olivier Matz]

From: Dongsu Han <dongsuh at cs.cmu.edu>

The '\0' is written outside the bounds of the log buffer, which can
result in memory corruption or display issues with log messages.

Use a new constant LOG_BUF_SIZE to store the effective size of the
buffer in struct log_history.
