Subject: [PATCH 14/30] thermal: fix potential out-of-bounds memory access

From: Guenter Roeck <linux@...ck-us.net>

temp_crit.name and temp_input.name have a length of 16 bytes.  Using
THERMAL_NAME_LENGTH (20) as length parameter for snprintf() may result in
out-of-bounds memory accesses.  Replace it with sizeof().

Addresses Coverity #115679
