Why not just limit the name to RTE_FBARRAY_NAME_LEN instead of changing 
the definition of RTE_FBARRAY_NAME_LEN?

One the other hand, technically, fbarray API is experimental. The only 
structure that uses rte_fbarray is rte_memseg_list, but API's using 
either rte_fbarray or rte_memseg_list are either internal (memory/VFIO 
subsystem), or are marked as experimental (walk functions).

So i *think* we're actually OK with changing the length of 
RTE_FBARRAY_NAME_LEN as far as ABI policy goes: nothing in the stable 
ABI gets affected. David, thoughts?

(i think it's probably time to make experimental memory/fbarray stuff 
stable, but that's a different conversation...)
