hpfs: hpfs_error: Remove static buffer, use vsprintf extension %pV instead

commit a28e4b2b18ccb90df402da3f21e1a83c9d4f8ec1 upstream.

Removing unnecessary static buffers is good.
Use the vsprintf %pV extension instead.

[Mikulas:
 - The bug corrected by the patch is - if hpfs_error is called concurrently
   on multiple filesystems, it could corrupt the string because the text
   buffer is shared. That's why I marked the patch for stable.]
[lizf: Backported to 3.4: adjust context]
