Subject: [PATCH 20/22] sound: pci: avoid string overflow warnings

With gcc-7, we get various warnings about a possible string overflow:

sound/pci/rme9652/hdspm.c: In function 'snd_hdspm_create_alsa_devices':
sound/pci/rme9652/hdspm.c:2123:17: error: ' MIDIoverMADI' directive writing 13 bytes into a region of size between 1 and 32 [-Werror=format-overflow=]

sound/pci/mixart/mixart.c: In function 'snd_mixart_probe':
sound/pci/mixart/mixart.c:1353:28: error: ' [PCM #' directive writing 7 bytes into a region of size between 1 and 32 [-Werror=format-overflow=]
   sprintf(card->shortname, "%s [PCM #%d]", mgr->shortname, i);

   ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   sprintf(card->longname, "%s [PCM #%d]", mgr->longname, i);
                           ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have checked these all and found that the driver-private
shortname strings for mixart and pcxhr are longer than necessary,
and making them shorter will be safe while also making it clear
that no overflow can happen when they get passed as a substring
into the card shortname.

For hdspm, we have a local buffer of the same size as its substring.
In this case, making the buffer a little longer is safe as the
functions that take it as an argument all use length checking and
the strings we pass into it are actually short enough.
