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.
