Subject: [PATCH 1/9] efi/cper: Use scnprintf() for avoiding potential buffer overflow

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@...e.de>

Since snprintf() returns the would-be-output size instead of the
actual output size, the succeeding calls may go beyond the given
buffer limit.  Fix it by replacing with scnprintf().
