Subject: [PATCH v3 iwl-next] i40e: Use correct buffer size in i40e_dbg_command_read

The size of "i40e_dbg_command_buf" is 256, the size of "name"
depends on "IFNAMSIZ", plus a null character and format size,
the total size is more than 256.

Improve readability and maintainability by replacing a hardcoded string
allocation and formatting by the use of the kasprintf() helper.

Fixes: 02e9c290814c ("i40e: debugfs interface")

v2
   - Update the size calculation with IFNAMSIZ and sizeof(i40e_dbg_command_buf)
v3
   - Use kasprintf to improve readability and maintainability
