Michael reported crash with by bpf program in json mode on powerpc:

  # bpftool prog -p dump jited id 14
  [{
        "name": "0xd00000000a9aa760",
        "insns": [{
                "pc": "0x0",
                "operation": "nop",
                "operands": [null
                ]
            },{
                "pc": "0x4",
                "operation": "nop",
                "operands": [null
                ]
            },{
                "pc": "0x8",
                "operation": "mflr",
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)

The code is assuming char pointers in format, which is not always
true at least for powerpc. Fixing this by dumping the whole string
into buffer based on its format.

Please note that libopcodes code does not check return values from
fprintf callback, so there's no point to return error in case of
allocation failure.
