SubjectRe: [PATCH v4 2/4] mm/page_owner: Use scnprintf() to avoid excessive buffer overrun check

Looks like this will work, but note that if the purpose of patch 1/4 was
that after the first scnprintf() that overflows the following calls will be
short-cut thanks to passing the size as 0, AFAICS that won't work. Because
scnprintf() returns the number without trailing zero, 'ret' will be 'count -
1' after the overflow, so 'count - ret' will be 1, never 0.
