[PATCH] scsi: leapraid: avoid -Wformat-security warning

[PATCH] scsi: leapraid: avoid -Wformat-security warning

[Arnd Bergmann]

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

When extra warnings are enabled, the alloc_ordered_workqueue() function
cannot be called with a variable name for the format string:

drivers/scsi/leapraid/leapraid_os.c: In function 'leapraid_probe':
drivers/scsi/leapraid/leapraid_os.c:2062:58: error: format not a string literal and no format arguments [-Werror=format-security]
 2062 |                 alloc_ordered_workqueue(adapter->fw_evt_s.fw_evt_name, 0);
      |                                         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~

As the string is only assembled before the call and not used anywhere
else, just fold the earlier snprintf() into the alloc_ordered_workqueue()
call.

Fixes: 5597088c9e79 ("scsi: leapraid: Add new SCSI driver")
