kobject: sanitize argument for format string
Unlike kobject_set_name(), the kset_create_and_add() interface does not provide a way to use format strings, so make sure that the interface cannot be abused accidentally. It looks like all current callers use static strings, so there's no existing flaw. Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
