Subject: [PATCH] RDMA/ocrdma: Fix an off-by-one issue in 'ocrdma_add_stat'

There is an off-by-one issue when checking if there is enough space in the
output buffer, because we must keep some place for a final '\0'.

While at it:
   - Use 'scnprintf' instead of 'snprintf' in order to avoid a superfluous
    'strlen'
   - avoid some useless initializations
   - avoida hard coded buffer size that can be computed at built time.

Fixes: a51f06e1679e ("RDMA/ocrdma: Query controller information")

---
The '\0' comes from memset(..., 0, ...) in all callers.
This could be also avoided if needed.
