Using a string variable as an sprintf format is potentially
dangerous, and gcc can warn about this:

drivers/gpio/gpio-virtuser.c: In function 'gpio_virtuser_dbgfs_init_line_attrs':
drivers/gpio/gpio-virtuser.c:808:9: error: format not a string literal and no format arguments [-Werror=format-security]
  808 |         sprintf(data->consumer, id);
      |         ^~~~~~~

Change it to a simpler strscpy() instead to just copy it and check
the destination buffer size.
