Subject: [PATCH] [v2] hinic: avoid gcc -Wrestrict warning

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>

With extra warnings enabled, gcc complains that snprintf should not
take the same buffer as source and destination:

drivers/net/ethernet/huawei/hinic/hinic_ethtool.c: In function 'hinic_set_settings_to_hw':
drivers/net/ethernet/huawei/hinic/hinic_ethtool.c:480:9: error: 'snprintf' argument 4 overlaps destination object 'set_link_str' [-Werror=restrict]
  480 |   err = snprintf(set_link_str, SET_LINK_STR_MAX_LEN,
      |         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  481 |           "%sspeed %d ", set_link_str, speed);
      |           ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/net/ethernet/huawei/hinic/hinic_ethtool.c:464:7: note: destination object referenced by 'restrict'-qualified argument 1 was declared here
  464 |  char set_link_str[SET_LINK_STR_MAX_LEN] = {0};

Rewrite this to avoid the nested sprintf and instead use separate
buffers, which is simpler.

v2: rework according to feedback from Rasmus. This one could
    easily avoid most of the pitfalls
