drm/i915: Use a temporary va_list for two-pass string handling
In commit edc3d884 Author: Mika Kuoppala <mika.kuoppala@linux.intel.com> Date: Thu May 23 13:55:35 2013 +0300 drm/i915: avoid big kmallocs on reading error state we introduce a two-pass mechanism for splitting long strings being formatted into the error-state. The first pass finds the length, and the second pass emits the right portion of the string into the accumulation buffer. Unfortunately we use the same va_list for both passes, resulting in the second pass reading garbage off the end of the argument list. As the two passes are only used for boundaries between read() calls, the corruption is only rarely seen.
