Only because I looked at this conflict did I notice that some of the
changes are kind of pointless..

I mean, this is well-meaning, but I'm really not convinced it's
actually *useful*:

  -   return sprintf(page, "\n");
  +   return snprintf(page, PAGE_SIZE, "\n");

It's not like a two-byte copy can ever overflow PAGE_SIZE.

Sometimes 'sprintf() -> snprintf()' conversions don't really buy you anything.
