Just above this we confirm strlen(isa_info_arr[i].name) + pos + 1 is less
than CPU_ISA_MAX_LEN, which means we should be able to use anything for
size which is greater than or equal to strlen(isa_info_arr[i].name) + 1,
as snprintf won't write more anyway. But, it's understandable that
__snprinf_chk doesn't know that.

Not part of this patch, but part of the context, so I'll comment on it
anyway, this '\0' assignment could be removed. It looks like it's a left
over from commit 7c9aac003925 ("riscv: Generate FDT at runtime for
Guest/VM") which could have been removed with commit 8aff29e1dafe ("riscv:
Append ISA extensions to the device tree")

Anyway,
