commit 2ae89c7a82ea9d81a19b4fc2df23bef4b112f24e upstream.

In file included from scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.c:2485:
scripts/kconfig/confdata.c: In function ‘conf_write’:
scripts/kconfig/confdata.c:773:22: warning: ‘%s’ directive writing likely 7 or more bytes into a region of size between 1 and 4097 [-Wformat-overflow=]
  sprintf(newname, "%s%s", dirname, basename);
                      ^~
scripts/kconfig/confdata.c:773:19: note: assuming directive output of 7 bytes
  sprintf(newname, "%s%s", dirname, basename);
                   ^~~~~~
scripts/kconfig/confdata.c:773:2: note: ‘sprintf’ output 1 or more bytes (assuming 4104) into a destination of size 4097
  sprintf(newname, "%s%s", dirname, basename);
  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
scripts/kconfig/confdata.c:776:23: warning: ‘.tmpconfig.’ directive writing 11 bytes into a region of size between 1 and 4097 [-Wformat-overflow=]
   sprintf(tmpname, "%s.tmpconfig.%d", dirname, (int)getpid());
                       ^~~~~~~~~~~
scripts/kconfig/confdata.c:776:3: note: ‘sprintf’ output between 13 and 4119 bytes into a destination of size 4097
   sprintf(tmpname, "%s.tmpconfig.%d", dirname, (int)getpid());
   ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Increase the size of tmpname and newname to make GCC happy.
