Subject: [PATCH] EDAC/thunderx: Fix some potential buffer overflow in thunderx_ocx_com_threaded_isr()

strncat() usage in thunderx_ocx_com_threaded_isr() is wrong.
The size given to strncat() is the maximum number of bytes that can be
written, excluding the trailing NULL.

Here, the size of the 'msg' buffer is used (i.e. OCX_MESSAGE_SIZE), not
the space that is remaining.
The space for the ending NULL is also not taken into account.

in order to fix it:
   - call decode_register() before the snprintf() calls
   - use scnprintf() instead of snprintf() and compute, in the 'remaining'
     variable, the space that is still available in the 'msg' buffer
   - add a %s at the end of the format strings and append directly the
     result of decode_register() stored in 'other'
   - write directly at the right position in the 'msg' buffer when
     appending some data in the for loop.

Doing so, all usages of strncat() are removed.
