Add a check for snprintf return code and ignore the entry if we get an
error. This should in fact never happen and is more a trick to make gcc
happy and prevent compilation errors.

This is solving the following gcc warning when compiling for arm32 host
platforms with optimization activated:
xenpmd.c:92:37: error: '%s' directive output may be truncated writing
between 4 and 2147483645 bytes into a region of size 271
[-Werror=format-truncation=]

This is also solving the following Debian bug:
