Problem: The `ip -d link show sim0` against of netdevsim interface, the `switchid` only has 62 chars. The kernel `struct netdev_phys_item_id` confirmed the switch id is 32 bytes which should produces 64 hex chars. Root cause: When `print_linkinfo()` showing `switchid`, it invokes `hexstring_n2a()` which output hex string to `SPRINT_BUF(b1)` including trailing NULL. The 32 bytes binary need 65 chars including trailing NULL while `SPRINT_BUF` is 64 chars. Fix: Bump `SPRINT_BSIZE` from 64 to 128.
