[SRU][Q][PATCH 1/1] netfilter: conntrack: remove sprintf usage

From: Florian Westphal <fw at strlen.de>
Replace it with scnprintf, the buffer sizes are expected to be large enough
to hold the result, no need for snprintf+overflow check.
Increase buffer size in mangle_content_len() while at it.
BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in vsnprintf+0xea5/0x1270
Write of size 1 at addr [..]
vsnprintf+0xea5/0x1270
sprintf+0xb1/0xe0
mangle_content_len+0x1ac/0x280
nf_nat_sdp_session+0x1cc/0x240
process_sdp+0x8f8/0xb80
process_invite_request+0x108/0x2b0
process_sip_msg+0x5da/0xf50
sip_help_tcp+0x45e/0x780
nf_confirm+0x34d/0x990
