Subject: [PATCH 14/17] s390/debug: Improve a size determination in
 debug_sprintf_format_fn()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>

Replace a multiplication by a reference for a local array variable
as the parameter for the operator "sizeof" to make the corresponding size
determination a bit safer.
