[PATCH] tty: synclink_gt: Fix incorrect formatted output

[liujing]

In the struct slgt_info structure, the type of info->tbuf_current
is unsigned int, so the output format is %u.

How was this found?  How was it tested?  Why is this code still in here
at all?  It all should be removed and if really needed, converted to use
the proper in-kernel apis for this type of thing, not a random module
parameter that does not fit in with the rest of the kernel.
