[PATCH v2] staging: lustre: Remove VLA usage

[Kees Cook]

The kernel would like to have all stack VLA usage removed[1]. This switches
to a simple kasprintf() instead, and in the process fixes an off-by-one
between the allocation and the sprintf (allocation did not include NULL
byte in calculation).
