bus/pci: fix allocation of device path

The pci_resource_by_index called strlen() on uninitialized
memory which would lead to the wrong size of memory allocated
for the path portion of the resource map. This would either cause
excessively large allocation, or worse memory corruption.

Coverity issue: 300868
Fixes: ea9d56226e72 ("pci: introduce function to map uio resource by index")
