    elf: Fix alloca size in _dl_debug_vdprintf
    
    The alloca size did not consider the optional width parameter for
    padding which could cause buffer underflow. The width is currently used
    e.g. by _dl_map_object_from_fd which passes 2 * sizeof(void *) which
    can be larger than the alloca buffer size on targets where
    sizeof(void *) >= 2 * sizeof(unsigned long).
    
    Even if large width is not used on existing targets it is better to fix
    the formatting code to avoid surprises.
