kernel: crashlog: Avoid out-of-bounds write

vsnprintf returns the number of chars that would have been written, not
the actual number of chars written. This can lead to crashlog_buf->len
being too big which in turn can lead to get_maxlen() returning negative
numbers. The length argument of kmsg_dump_get_buffer will be casted to
a size_t which makes a negative input a big positive number allowing
kmsg_dump_get_buffer to write out of bounds.

Fix this by using vscnprintf which returns the actually written number
of chars.
