Improve readability and maintainability by replacing a hard coded string
allocation and formatting by using the kasprintf() helper.

It also eliminates the GCC compiler warning (with CONFIG_WERROR=y, which
is default, it becomes an error:

kernel/relay.c:357:42: error: `snprintf' output may be truncated before the last format character [-Werror=format-truncation=]
