Cited commit removed the strscpy() call and kept the snprintf() only.
It is common to use 'dev->name' as the format string before a netdev is
registered, this results in 'res' and 'name' pointers being equal.
According to POSIX, if copying takes place between objects that overlap
as a result of a call to sprintf() or snprintf(), the results are
undefined.
Add back the strscpy() and use 'buf' as an intermediate buffer.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
