[RFC PATCH 1/1] vsprintf: Warn on integer scanning overflows

[Richard Weinberger]

The scanf function family has no way to indicate overflows
while scanning. As consequence users of these function have to make
sure their input cannot cause an overflow.
Since this is not always the case add WARN_ON_ONCE() guards to
trigger a warning upon an overflow.
