x86, UV: Use allocated buffer in tlb_uv.c:tunables_read()
The original code didn't check that the value returned from
snprintf() was less than the size of the buffer. Although it
didn't cause a runtime bug in this case, it makes the static
checkers complain.
Andrew Morton suggested a dynamically sized buffer would be
cleaner.
