See my previous patch 2 and the reason I used scnprintf() is that it 
never return a length that is >= the given size. So overflow won't 
happen. The final snprintf() in print_page_owner() will detect buffer 
overflow.

Yes, I see both styles used in kernel code though this style is probably 
more common. I will keep this unless there is a good reason to do otherwise.

See my comments above.
