Subject: [PATCH 3.14 122/125] hpfs: hpfs_error: Remove static buffer, use vsprintf extension %pV instead

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

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

From: Joe Perches <joe@...ches.com>

commit a28e4b2b18ccb90df402da3f21e1a83c9d4f8ec1 upstream.

Removing unnecessary static buffers is good.
Use the vsprintf %pV extension instead.
