[PATCH] hpfs: bring hpfs_error() into shape

 - switch to error message buffer in .bss
 - missing va_end() (htf it worked before?)
 - use vsnprintf()
 - rename variables to understandable "fmt", "args".
 - "const char *fmt", yes.
 - add __attribute__((format ...

Still, put that coffee down before reading more.
