net/mlx5e: Correct snprintf truncation handling for fw_version buffer
[ Upstream commit ad436b9c1270c40554e274f067f1b78fcc06a004 ]
snprintf returns the length of the formatted string, excluding the trailing
null, without accounting for truncation. This means that is the return
value is greater than or equal to the size parameter, the fw_version string
was truncated.
