[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] cfgfile: fix unitialised buffer and improve reading from nfs filesystem.

[Daniel Mrzyglod]

Nature of the problem was not initialised buffer[256] on special condition
there were probability that program will work on unitialised data that
could provide unexpected program behaviour.

Adding additional transparent I/O buffer for I/O operations
improve reading on heavyloaded enviroments with NFS.
