[for-next][PATCH 01/13] tracing: move __printf() attribute on __ftrace_vbprintk()

[Steven Rostedt <rostedt@kernel.org>]

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

The sunrpc change to use trace_printk() for debugging caused
a new warning for every instance of dprintk() in some configurations,
when -Wformat-security is enabled:

fs/nfs/getroot.c: In function 'nfs_get_root':
fs/nfs/getroot.c:90:17: error: format not a string literal and no format arguments [-Werror=format-security]
   90 |                 nfs_errorf(fc, "NFS: Couldn't getattr on root");

I've been slowly chipping away at those warnings over time with the
intention of enabling them by default in the future. While I could not
figure out why this only happens for this one instance, I see that the
__trace_bprintk() function is always called with a local variable as
the format string, rather than a literal.

Move the __printf(2,3) annotation on this function from the declaration
to the caller. As this is can only be validated for literals, the
attribute on the declaration causes the warnings every time, but
removing it entirely introduces a new warning on the __ftrace_vbprintk()
definition.

The format strings still get checked because the underlying literal keeps
getting passed into __trace_printk() in the "else" branch, which is not
taken but still evaluated for compile-time warnings.
