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

Hi!

I double checked the snprintf fails only if buf is set to NULL _and_ the
len is set to a non-zero value. 

So I would follow Vlad's proposal on factoring out the code to make it
clearer.

    core: fix static_alloc buffer overflow
    
    Static buffer overflow in thread local pool causes random fails on OSX
    platform. This was caused by an incorrect use of the allocator result.
    
    Fixes #5312
