    perf/core: Convert snprintf() to scnprintf() · dca6344d

    Coccinelle reports a warning:
    
        WARNING: use scnprintf or sprintf
    
    This LWN article explains the rationale for this change:
    
        https: //lwn.net/Articles/69419/
    
    Ie. snprintf() returns what *would* be the resulting length,
    while scnprintf() returns the actual length.
    
    Adding to that, there has also been some slow migration from snprintf to scnprintf,
    here's the shift in usage in the past 3.5 years, in all fs/ files:
    
                             v5.0    v6.0-rc6
       --------------------------------------
       snprintf() uses:        63         213
       scnprintf() uses:      374         186
    
    No intended change in behavior.
