Replace use of snprintf() with scnprintf() in order to adhere to the rules in Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.txt, as per: show() must not use snprintf() when formatting the value to be returned to user space. If you can guarantee that an overflow will never happen you can use sprintf() otherwise you must use scnprintf(). There is no change to the functionality.
