[ Upstream commit 3db7cf55d532a15ea26b4a14e8f8729ccd96fd22 ]

cppcheck report the following error:
rnbd/rnbd-clt-sysfs.c:522:36: error: The variable 'buf' is used both
as a parameter and as destination in snprintf(). The origin and
destination buffers overlap. Quote from glibc (C-library)
documentation
(http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_mono/libc.html#Formatted-Output-Functions):
"If copying takes place between objects that overlap as a result of a
call to sprintf() or snprintf(), the results are undefined."
[sprintfOverlappingData]
Fix it by initializing the buf variable in the first snprintf call.
