show show_smap_vma_flags() has been a using misspelled initializer in
mnemonics[] - it needed to initialize 2 element array of char and it used
NUL-padded 2 character string literals (i.e. 3-element initializer).
This has been spotted by gcc-15[*]; prior to that gcc quietly dropped the
3rd eleemnt of initializers. To fix this we are increasing the size of
mnemonics[] (from mnemonics[BITS_PER_LONG][2] to
mnemonics[BITS_PER_LONG][3]) to accomodate the NUL-padded string literals.
This also helps us in simplyfying the logic for printing of the flags as
instead of printing each character from the mnemonics[], we can just print
the mnemonics[] using seq_printf.

Stephen pointed out:
: The C standard explicitly allows for a string initializer to be too long
: due to the NUL byte at the end ... so this warning may be overzealous.
but let's make the warning go away anwyay.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
