[PATCH 5/7] kernel/cpu: Convert snprintf() to scnprintf()

From: Jules Irenge
Date: Mon Sep 26 2022 - 14:52:15 EST


Coccinnelle reports a warning
Warning: Use scnprintf or sprintf
Adding to that, there has been a slow migration from snprintf to scnprintf.
This LWN article explains the rationale for this change
https: //lwn.net/Articles/69419/
Ie. snprintf() returns what *would* be the resulting length,
while scnprintf() returns the actual length.
