Storage/posix : Adding error checks in path formation

Renaming directories can cause the size of the buffer
required for posix_handle_path to increase between the
first call, which calculates the size, and the second call
which forms the path in the buffer allocated based on
the size calculated in the first call.

The path created in the second call overflows the
allocated buffer and overwrites the stack causing the
brick process to crash.

The fix adds a buffer size check to prevent the buffer
overflow. It also checks and returns an error if the
posix_handle_path call is unable to form the path instead
of working on the incomplete path, which is likely to cause
subsequent calls using the path to fail with ELOOP.

Preventing buffer overflow and handling errors
