[PATCH 2/4] test: increase size of memzone name

The tests were using a name buffer of 20 characters which could
overflow if number of memory zones got large. The upper limit
is defined as RTE_MEMZONE_NAMESIZE so use that.

In function ‘test_memzone_free’,
    inlined from ‘test_memzone’ at ../app/test/test_memzone.c:1117:6:
../app/test/test_memzone.c:52:35: warning: ‘%u’ directive output may be truncated writing between 1 and 10 bytes into a region of size 4 [-Wformat-truncation=]
