tools/sed: Fix handling of symlinks of 128 chars

If the absolute path a symlink is pointing to is 128 bytes long sed
failed with an error message like this: "<path>/sedstbU8O: Not a directory"

This fixes a problem building python seen in the build bot.

This patch is on its way into upstream sed.

Subject: [PATCH] sed: fix symlink bufsize readlink check
Problem reported by Hauke Mehrtens.
* sed/utils.c (follow_symlink): Fix typo when checking size of
second and later symlink, when that symlink is so large that it
does not fit into the buffer. Although the bug is not a buffer
overflow, it does cause sed to mishandle the symlink.
* testsuite/follow-symlinks.sh: Test for the bug.
