Subject: [net-next 06/15] i40e: force VMDQ device name truncation

From: Jacob Keller <jacob.e.keller@...el.com>

In new versions of GCC since 7.x a new warning exists which warns when
a string is truncated before all of the format can be completed.

When we setup VMDQ netdev names we are copying a pre-existing interface
name which could be up to 15 characters in length. Since we also add
4 bytes, v, the literal %, the d and a \0 null, we would overrun the
available size unless snprintf truncated for us.

The snprintf call will of course truncate on the end, so lets instead
modify the code to force truncation of the copied netdev name by
4 characters, to create enough space for the 4 bytes we're adding.
