init: don't use fixed size buffer for command
We store init actions forever. 256 bytes per action means that a typical inittab of ~10 commands uses 2.5k just to remember command strings - which are usually _much_ shorter than 256 bytes. At a cost of a bit more code, it's possible to allocate only actually needed amount. function old new delta init_exec 224 248 +24 new_init_action 140 142 +2 Signed-off-by: Denys Vlasenko <vda.linux@googlemail.com>
