dm/amdgpu: fix malformed link_settings debugfs output

Browse source

[Why]
dp_link_settings_read() passed strlen() of each format string as the size
argument to snprintf() and then advanced rd_buf_ptr by that same fixed amount.
The format-string length has no relation to the formatted output length, so
snprintf() truncated each field at a NUL it wrote inside the buffer while the
pointer was advanced past it. The result is a buffer peppered with embedded NUL
bytes and fields that are silently cut short, so the data read back from the
debugfs node does not reflect the actual link settings.

[How]
Use scnprintf() with the real remaining buffer size
(rd_buf_size - (rd_buf_ptr - rd_buf)) and advance rd_buf_ptr by its return
value, which is the number of characters actually written. This both bounds
each write to the space left in rd_buf and keeps the output a single,
properly terminated string. The now-unused str_len local is removed.
