powerpc/rtas_flash: Fix validate_flash buffer overflow issue
ibm,validate-flash-image RTAS call output buffer contains 150 - 200
bytes of data on latest system. Presently we have output
buffer size as 64 bytes and we use sprintf to copy data from
RTAS buffer to local buffer. This causes kernel oops (see below
call trace).
This patch increases local buffer size to 256 and also uses
snprintf instead of sprintf to copy data from RTAS buffer.
