The warning check for duplicate sysfs entries can cause a buffer overflow
when printing the warning, as strcat() doesn't check buffer sizes.
Use strlcat() instead.

Since strlcat() doesn't return a pointer to the passed buffer, unlike
strcat(), I had to convert the nested concatenation in sysfs_add_one() to
an admittedly more obscure comma operator construct, to avoid emitting code
for the concatenation if CONFIG_BUG is disabled.
