[RFC PATCH 6/7] nfs: use fmtcheck() in root_nfs_data

From: Rasmus Villemoes
Date: Fri Oct 26 2018 - 19:24:23 EST


tmp is initially the string "/tftpboot/%s", but it may be changed from
the calls to root_nfs_parse_options. While an nfsroot= command line
option can probably be trusted (or the user gets to keep both pieces),
it's also possible for contents to come via a BOOTP option.

Do a sanity check of fmt to ensure it doesn't contain odd printf
specifiers that would make snprintf go off into the weeds. The lack of
the FMTCHECK_NO_EXTRA_ARGS flag (i.e., the last 0 argument) means we
allow either no specifiers or precisely one occurrence of %s in tmp.
