What's the point of doing this change?  We'd have to have 13,600 bit
integer types before this could ever possibly overflow and the
difference between snprintf and scnprintf actually matter from a
practical point of view.  Perhaps the coccinelle check should be
updated to account for these common impossible to overflow situations.
