request_done() formats "request done %d" into a buffer on its stack and
passes it to reschedule_timeout(), which keeps the pointer in
timeout_message. show_floppy() prints timeout_message long after
request_done() has returned, e.g. from result() in the interrupt
handler, and reads a dead stack frame:

  BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in string+0x39c/0x3d0 lib/vsprintf.c:720
  Read of size 1 at addr ffffc900003cfc70 by task swapper/3/0
  Call Trace:
   <IRQ>

   floppy_hardint+0x1a7/0x200 arch/x86/include/asm/floppy.h:66

uptodate is either 0 or 1, so pass one of two string literals instead.
