efi: cper: fix snprintf() use in cper_dimm_err_location()
snprintf() should be given the full buffer size, not one less. And it guarantees nul-termination, so doing it manually afterwards is pointless. It's even potentially harmful (though probably not in practice because CPER_REC_LEN is 256), due to the "return how much would have been written had the buffer been big enough" semantics. I.e., if the bank and/or device strings are long enough that the "DIMM location ..." output gets truncated, writing to msg[n] is a buffer overflow.
