Subject: [PATCH 4.16 08/47] drm/vmwgfx: Use kasprintf

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

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

From: Himanshu Jha <himanshujha199640@...il.com>

commit 6073a09210e06f39adabd682c282b3ee14c3d33d upstream.

Use kasprintf instead of combination of kmalloc and sprintf. Also,
remove the local variables used for storing the string length as they
are not required now.
