[PATCH v4] tools/testing:Fix the wrong format specifier

[Zhu Jun]

The format specifier in fprintf is "%u", that "%u" should use
unsigned int type instead.the problem is discovered by reading code.

---
 v1->v2:
 	modify commit info add how to find the problem in the log
 v2->v3:
 	Seems this can use macro WTERMSIG like those above usage, rather than
 	changing the print format.
 v3->v4:
 	Now the commit summary doesn't match the change you are making.
	 Also WTERMSIG() is incorrect for this conditional code path.
	 See comments below in the code path.

	 I would leave the v2 code intact. How are you testing this change?
	 Please include the details in the change log.

This change is different from what the subject line says and
what was in your v2. Also you didn't tell me how you tested
this.

Sorry I have to nack this patch.

thanks,
