net: thunderx: Fix format-truncation warning in bgx_acpi_match_id()

The buffer bgx_sel used in snprintf() was too small to safely hold
the formatted string "BGX%d" for all valid bgx_id values. This caused
a -Wformat-truncation warning with `Werror` enabled during build.

Increase the buffer size from 5 to 7 and use `sizeof(bgx_sel)` in
snprintf() to ensure safety and suppress the warning.

Build warning:
  CC      drivers/net/ethernet/cavium/thunder/thunder_bgx.o
  drivers/net/ethernet/cavium/thunder/thunder_bgx.c: In function
