[PATCH] of: module: harden a call to request_module

[Dmitriy Okunev]

In of_request_module(), the string 'str' is built from Device Tree data
and passed directly to request_module() as a format string.  While the
Device Tree is generally considered trusted, using externally provided
data as a format string is fragile and can lead to unintended format
specifier interpretation. 

Fix this by using request_module("%s", str) to treat 'str' as a plain
string argument, not a format string.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
