scsi: fnic: use scnprintf in fnic_get_debug_info()

This commit replaces snprintf() with scnprintf() in fnic_get_debug_info()
to prevent buffer overflow and out-of-bounds reads when formatting fnic
debugfs statistics.

[Severity: High]
Does debug->buffer_len still overflow debug->buf_size and trigger the
out-of-bounds read in simple_read_from_buffer() even after switching to
scnprintf()?

In drivers/scsi/fnic/fnic_trace.c, fnic_get_debug_info() initializes len
to the existing info->buffer_len and returns the cumulative offset len at
the end of the function:

drivers/scsi/fnic/fnic_trace.c:fnic_get_debug_info() {
	int buf_size = info->buf_size;
	int len = info->buffer_len;
	...
	return len;
}

However, in drivers/scsi/fnic/fnic_debugfs.c, fnic_stats_debugfs_open()
adds the return value of fnic_get_debug_info() to debug->buffer_len using
+= rather than assigning it directly:

drivers/scsi/fnic/fnic_debugfs.c:fnic_stats_debugfs_open() {
	...
	debug->buffer_len = fnic_get_stats_data(debug, fnic_stats);
	debug->buffer_len += fnic_get_debug_info(debug, fnic);
}

Because fnic_get_debug_info() returns info->buffer_len plus the newly
appended bytes, using += counts the length returned by
fnic_get_stats_data() twice. Since fnic_get_stats_data() already writes
more than 4 KB into the 2 * PAGE_SIZE vmalloc() buffer even when all
counters are zero, debug->buffer_len still exceeds debug->buf_size when
userspace opens the stats debugfs file (even with zero target ports).

When userspace subsequently reads the file through
fnic_stats_debugfs_read() -> simple_read_from_buffer(), won't passing this
inflated debug->buffer_len still read past the end of debug->debug_buffer?
Should fnic_get_debug_info() return len - info->buffer_len (or should
fnic_stats_debugfs_open() use = instead of +=)?
