[Tarantool-patches] [PATCH] core: fix static_alloc buffer overflow

Hi!

Thanks for the investigation! My bad, I used MIN as a function with
sematics of all agruments calculated before call. You're right - in case
of define it can cause a double call.

The SNPRINT although leaves some questions to me: in case 'written' is
more or equal to 'size', it forces '_buf' to be set to NULL. But in the
sio_socketname_to_buffer() there's no check for NULL between the calls.
A call to snprintf() delivers a segfault, at least for Mac.

Also, factoring out 18 loc out of a function with a total of 24 seems
redundant - IMVHO. 

I prpose to explicitly get the result from snprintf and compare it to
original limit.
