    perf tools: Fix snprint warnings for gcc 8 · 77f18153

    With gcc 8 we get new set of snprintf() warnings that breaks the
    compilation, one example:
    
      tests/mem.c: In function ‘check’:
      tests/mem.c:19:48: error: ‘%s’ directive output may be truncated writing \
            up to 99 bytes into a region of size 89 [-Werror=format-truncation=]
        snprintf(failure, sizeof failure, "unexpected %s", out);
    
    The gcc docs says:
    
     To avoid the warning either use a bigger buffer or handle the
     function's return value which indicates whether or not its output
     has been truncated.
    
    Given that all these warnings are harmless, because the code either
    properly fails due to uncomplete file path or we don't care for
    truncated output at all, I'm changing all those snprintf() calls to
    scnprintf(), which actually 'checks' for the snprint return value so the
    gcc stays silent.
