Subject: [PATCH 15/22] hwmon: applesmc: fix format string overflow

gcc-7 warns that the key might exceed five bytes for lage index
values:

drivers/hwmon/applesmc.c: In function 'applesmc_show_fan_position':
drivers/hwmon/applesmc.c:906:18: error: '%d' directive writing between 1 and 5 bytes into a region of size 4 [-Werror=format-overflow=]
sprintf(newkey, FAN_ID_FMT, to_index(attr));
                ^~~~~~~
drivers/hwmon/applesmc.c:906:18: note: directive argument in the range [0, 65535]
drivers/hwmon/applesmc.c:906:2: note: 'sprintf' output between 5 and 9 bytes into a destination of size 5

As the key is required to be four characters plus trailing zero,
we know that the index has to be small here. I'm using snprintf()
to avoid the warning. This would truncate the string instead of
overflowing.
