Subject: [ 071/110] sparc: fix ldom_reboot buffer overflow harder

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

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

From: Kees Cook <keescook@...omium.org>

[ Upstream commit 20928bd3f08afb036c096d9559d581926b895918 ]

The length argument to strlcpy was still wrong. It could overflow the end of
full_boot_str by 5 bytes. Instead of strcat and strlcpy, just use snprint.
