[PATCH] fs: fat: inode: Replace sprintf() with scnprintf()

From: Maxwell Doose

Date: Wed Jun 03 2026 - 11:25:49 EST


The kernel documentation notes that sprintf() is deprecated and unsafe.
Replace it with the more preferred scnprintf() to help with hardening.

Test compiled only, as the only functional change is the addition of
bounds checking.
