[PATCH v2 1/2] drivers/base/cpu: Use scnprintf() for avoiding potential buffer overflow

From: Takashi Iwai
Date: Wed Mar 11 2020 - 04:02:29 EST


Since snprintf() returns the would-be-output size instead of the
actual output size, the succeeding calls may go beyond the given
buffer limit. Fix it by replacing with scnprintf().
