  sprintf function is not secure as it doesn't check the length of string.
More secure function snprintf is used.

Fixes: f74df2c57e ("test/distributor: test single and burst API")

While not wrong here, I think changing these to string copies using
"strlcpy" might be better, since this is constant text in each case, and no
printf formatting is actually needed.
