    tools/misc: fix hypothetical buffer overflow in xen-lowmemd
    
    gcc-8 complains:
    
        xen-lowmemd.c: In function 'handle_low_mem':
        xen-lowmemd.c:80:55: error: '%s' directive output may be truncated 
writing up to 511 bytes into a region of size 489 [-Werror=format-truncation=]
                 snprintf(error, BUFSZ,"Failed to write target %s to xenstore", 
data);
                                                               ^~               
~~~~
        xen-lowmemd.c:80:9: note: 'snprintf' output between 36 and 547 bytes 
into a destination of size 512
                 snprintf(error, BUFSZ,"Failed to write target %s to xenstore", 
data);
                 
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    
    In practice it wouldn't happen, because 'data' contains string
    representation of 64-bit unsigned number (20 characters at most).
    But place a limit to mute gcc warning.
