scsi: ipr: Work around fortify-string warning

[ Upstream commit ee4e7dfe4ffc9ca50c6875757bd119abfe22b5c5 ]

The ipr_log_vpd_compact() function triggers a fortified memcpy() warning
about a potential string overflow with all versions of clang:

In file included from drivers/scsi/ipr.c:43:
In file included from include/linux/string.h:254:
include/linux/fortify-string.h:520:4: error: call to '__write_overflow_field' declared with 'warning' attribute: detected write beyond size of field (1st parameter); maybe use struct_group()? [-Werror,-Wattribute-warning]
                        __write_overflow_field(p_size_field, size);
                        ^
include/linux/fortify-string.h:520:4: error: call to '__write_overflow_field' declared with 'warning' attribute: detected write beyond size of field (1st parameter); maybe use struct_group()? [-Werror,-Wattribute-warning]
2 errors generated.

I don't see anything actually wrong with the function, but this is the only
instance I can reproduce of the fortification going wrong in the kernel at
the moment, so the easiest solution may be to rewrite the function into
something that does not trigger the warning.

Instead of having a combined buffer for vendor/device/serial strings, use
three separate local variables and just truncate the whitespace
individually.
