Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo e33711d5e7 perf tools: Use scnprintf() in build_id__snprintf() and hwmon read_events()
build_id__snprintf() and hwmon_pmu__read_events() accumulate formatted
output via snprintf(), which returns the would-have-been-written count
on truncation.  In build_id__snprintf(), this inflates the return
value beyond the buffer size.  In hwmon_pmu__read_events(), len
overshoots out_buf_len and the next 'out_buf_len - len' underflows.

Switch both to scnprintf() which returns actual bytes written.

In build_id__snprintf(), also tighten the loop guard from
'offs < bf_size' to 'offs + 1 < bf_size': since scnprintf() returns
at most size-1, offs never reaches bf_size, and the original condition
would spin doing zero-byte writes once the buffer fills.

Fixes: 53cc0b351e ("perf hwmon_pmu: Add a tool PMU exposing events from hwmon in sysfs")
