[to-be-updated] selftests-ksft_exit_fail_perror-support-printf-style-arguments.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: selftests: ksft_exit_fail_perror: support printf style arguments
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     selftests-ksft_exit_fail_perror-support-printf-style-arguments.patch

This patch was dropped because an updated version will be issued

From: Chunyu Hu <chuhu@redhat.com>
Subject: selftests: ksft_exit_fail_perror: support printf style arguments
Date: Mon, 30 Mar 2026 23:15:00 +0800

The ksft_exit_fail_perror function previously only accepted a single string
argument, which limited its flexibility for providing specific context to
failure messages.

This change updates ksft_exit_fail_perror to support variable arguments,
similar to ksft_exit_fail_msg.  Adding the __printf(1, 2) attribute enables
compile-time checking for format string correctness.
