Subject: [PATCH 2/4] ACPI: sysfs: Fix a potential out-of-bound write in create_of_modalias()

The remaining size of the buffer used by snprintf() is not updated after
the first write, so subsequent write in the 'for' loop a few lines below
can write some data past the end of the 'modalias' buffer.

Correctly update the remaining size.

Note that this pattern is already correctly written in
create_pnp_modalias().

Fixes: 8765c5ba1949 ("ACPI / scan: Rework modalias creation when "compatible" is present")
