Subject: [PATCH] blk-throttle: silence truncated string warning

using gcc and w=1, there are some warnings like these:

block/blk-throttle.c:1531:53: error:
‘snprintf’ output may be truncated before the last format character
[-Werror=format-truncation=]
 1531 |    snprintf(idle_time, sizeof(idle_time), " idle=%lu",
      |                                                     ^
block/blk-throttle.c:1531:4: note: ‘snprintf’ output between 8 and 27 bytes
into a destination of size 26
 1531 |    snprintf(idle_time, sizeof(idle_time), " idle=%lu",
      |    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 1532 |     tg->idletime_threshold_conf);
      |     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
block/blk-throttle.c:1538:15: error:
‘%lu’ directive output may be truncated writing between 1 and 20 bytes
into a region of size 17 [-Werror=format-truncation=]
 1538 |     " latency=%lu", tg->latency_target_conf);
      |               ^~~

"%lu" can up to 21, so string " idle=%lu" can up to 27. But 'idle_time'
only has 26 Bytes. It's same for 'latency_time' whose size should be 30
rather than 26 because string " latency=%lu" can up to 30.
