netpoll: pass buffer size to egress_dev() to avoid MAC truncation

[ Upstream commit 76b93a8 ]

egress_dev() formats np->dev_mac via snprintf() but receives buf as
a bare char *, so it cannot derive the buffer size from the pointer. The
size argument was hardcoded to MAC_ADDR_STR_LEN (3 * ETH_ALEN - 1 = 17),
which is silly wrong in two ways:

 1) misleading kernel log output on the MAC-selected target path
    (np->dev_name[0] == '\0'); for example "aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff doesn't
    exist, aborting" was logged as "aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:f doesn't exist,
    aborting".

 2) the second argument of snprintf is the size of the buffer, not the
    size of what you want to write.

Add a bufsz parameter to egress_dev() and pass sizeof(buf) from each
caller, matching the standard snprintf() idiom and removing the
hardcoded size from the helper.

Every caller already declares "char buf[MAC_ADDR_STR_LEN + 1]" so the
formatted MAC continues to fit.

Tested by booting with
  netconsole=6665@/aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff,6666@10.0.0.1/00:11:22:33:44:55
on a kernel without a matching device. Pre-fix dmesg shows
"aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:f doesn't exist, aborting"; post-fix shows the full
"aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff doesn't exist, aborting".
