gcc-7 points out that a large controller number would overflow the

drivers/block/DAC960.c:1681:3: note: 'sprintf' output between 10 and 14 bytes into a destination of size 12

Both of these seem appropriately sized, and using snprintf()
instead of sprintf() improves this by ensuring that even
incorrect data won't cause undefined behavior here.

Thanks Arnd, added for 4.14.
