[PATCH v2 2/3] eal: fix trace init fail with long file-prefix

Bug scenario:
1. start testpmd:
dpdk-testpmd -l 4-6 -a 0000:7d:00.0 --trace=.* \
-file-prefix=trace_autotest -- -i
2. then observed:
EAL: eal_trace_init():94 failed to initialize trace [File exists]
EAL: FATAL: Cannot init trace
EAL: Cannot init trace
EAL: Error - exiting with code: 1

The root cause it that the offset set wrong with long file-prefix and
then lead the strftime return failed.

Fixes: 321dd5f8fa62 ("trace: add internal init and fini interface")
