Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] jbd2: Avoid printing outside the boundary of the buffer

Theoretically possible that "%pg" will take all room for the j_devname
and hence the "-%lu" will go outside the boundary due to unconditional
sprintf() in use. To make this code more robust, replace two sequential
s*printf():s by a single call and then replace forbidden character.
It's possible to do this way, because '/' won't ever be in the result
of "-%lu".
