Subject: [PATCH 34/48] rcu: Fix buffer overflow in print_cpu_stall_info()

From: Nikita Kiryushin <kiryushin@ancud.ru>

The rcuc-starvation output from print_cpu_stall_info() might overflow the
buffer if there is a huge difference in jiffies difference.  The situation
might seem improbable, but computers sometimes get very confused about
time, which can result in full-sized integers, and, in this case,
buffer overflow.

Also, the unsigned jiffies difference is printed using %ld, which is
normally for signed integers.  This is intentional for debugging purposes,
but it is not obvious from the code.

This commit therefore changes sprintf() to snprintf() and adds a
clarifying comment about intention of %ld format.

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