[PATCH V3] target: generate correct string identifiers for PR OUT transport IDs

[PATCH V3] target: generate correct string identifiers for PR OUT transport IDs

[Maurizio Lombardi]

Fix target_parse_pr_out_transport_id() to
return a string representing the transport ID
in a human-readable format (e.g., naa.xxxxxxxx...)
for various SCSI protocol types (SAS, FCP, SRP, SBP).

Previously, the function returned a pointer to the raw binary buffer,
which was incorrectly compared against human-readable strings,
causing comparisons to fail.
Now, the function writes a properly formatted string into a
buffer provided by the caller.
The output format depends on the transport protocol:

* SAS: 64-bit identifier, "naa." prefix.
* FCP: 64-bit identifier, colon separated values.
* SBP: 64-bit identifier, no prefix.
* SRP: 128-bit identifier, "0x" prefix.
* iSCSI: IQN string.

v3: replaced {0} with {} and strncpy() with strscpy()

v2: Fix the prefixes, using Dmitry Bogdanov's patch as a reference.
    target_parse_pr_out_transport_id() runs in atomic context
    because it's called in a spin_lock() protected section,
    therefore I rewrote the patch to avoid using kasprintf().
