Subject: [PATCH] x86, mce: Fix stack out-of-bounds write in
 mce-inject.c:flags_read()

Each of the strings that we want to put into the buf[MAX_FLAG_OPT_SIZE]
in flags_read() is two characters. But the sprintf() adds a trailing newline
and will add a terminating NUL byte. So MAX_FLAG_OPT_SIZE needs to be 4.
