On macOS passing `-s /tmp/vhost.socket` parameter to the vhost-user-blk application, the bind was done on `/tmp/vhost.socke` pathname, missing the last character.
This sounds like one of the portability problems described in the unix(7) manpage: Pathname sockets When binding a socket to a pathname, a few rules should be observed for maximum portability and ease of coding: • The pathname in sun_path should be null-terminated. • The length of the pathname, including the terminating null byte, should not exceed the size of sun_path. • The addrlen argument that describes the enclosing sockaddr_un structure should have a value of at least: offsetof(struct sockaddr_un, sun_path) + strlen(addr.sun_path)+1 or, more simply, addrlen can be specified as sizeof(struct sockaddr_un). So let's follow the last advice and simplify the code as well.
