uevent: don't pass envp_ext[] as format string in kobject_uevent_env()
kobject_uevent_env() uses envp_ext[] as verbatim format string which can cause problems ranging from unexpectedly mangled string to oops if a string in envp_ext[] contains substring which can be interpreted as format. Fix it. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
