Fixes following build error:
vhci_driver.c: In function 'refresh_imported_device_list':
vhci_driver.c:118:37: error: 'snprintf' output may be truncated before
	the last format character [-Werror=format-truncation=]
    snprintf(status, sizeof(status), "status.%d", i);
                                     ^~~~~~~~~~~
vhci_driver.c:118:4: note: 'snprintf' output between 9 and 18 bytes into
	a destination of size 17
    snprintf(status, sizeof(status), "status.%d", i);
