[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 3/4] examples/mp_server: fix snprintf overflow

When producing a printable mac address the buffer was appropriately sized
for holding the mac address exactly, but the actual snprintf included a
'\n' character at the end, which means that the snprintf technically is
getting truncated i.e. the \n would not be added due to lack of space.
This gets flagged as a problem by modern versions of gcc, e.g. on Ubuntu
20.04.
main.c:77:37: warning: ‘__builtin___snprintf_chk’ output truncated before the last format character [-Wformat-truncation=]
77 | "%02x:%02x:%02x:%02x:%02x:%02x\n",
| ^
Since the \n is getting stripped anyway, we can fix the issue by just
removing it from the printf string.
