There is a possibility of buffer overflow in
show_rcu_tasks_trace_gp_kthread() if counters, passed
to sprintf() are huge. Counter numbers, needed for this
are unrealistically high, but buffer overflow is still
possible.
Use snprintf() with buffer size instead of sprintf().

v4: Change ARRAY_SIZE to sizeof() as more idiomatic
as Steven Rostedt <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> suggested
v3: Fixed commit message
v2: Use snprintf() as
Steven Rostedt <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> suggested.
