Pengpeng Hou 18d4969e22 ALSA: asihpi: detect truncated control names
asihpi_ctl_init() builds mixer control names in the fixed 44-byte
hpi_ctl->name buffer with sprintf().

This is not only a defensive cleanup. The current in-tree name tables and
format strings can already exceed 44 bytes. For example,

  "Bitstream 0 Internal 0 Monitor Playback Volume"

is 46 characters before the trailing NUL, so the current sprintf() call
writes past the end of hpi_ctl->name.

The generated control name is used as the ALSA control element key, so
blindly truncating it is not sufficient. Switch the formatting to
snprintf() and emit an error if truncation happens, showing the
truncated name while still keeping the write bounded to hpi_ctl->name.
