Increase BUFFSIZE to handle very large /proc/stat files

Browse Source 
We read /proc/stat using a statically sized buffer. This was increased
to 64kB in 2005 via commit 777fcd3cf1 "/proc/stat for 1024 CPUs".

Unfortunately in 2020, 1024 CPUs is not enough for anyone. I have a
large machine where /proc/stat is 74kB, and vmstat gives incorrect
output.

Double the buffer to 128kB in the confidence that 2048 CPUs is actually
enough for anyone.
