Subject: [PATCH 4.2 179/258] hpsa: fix an sprintf() overflow in the reset handler

4.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...cle.com>

commit 2dc127bb299d1c7436a08e79193bd0251068356e upstream.

The string "cmd %d RESET FAILED, new lockup detected" is not quite
large enough so the sprintf() will overflow.  I have increased the size
of the buffer and also changed the sprintf calls to snprintf.

Fixes: 73153fe533bc ('hpsa: use block layer tag for command allocation')
