[PATCH] iavf: Use printf instead of gnu_printf for iavf_debug_d

Clang warns:

__attribute__ ((format(gnu_printf, 3, 4)));
^

We can convert from gnu_printf to printf without any side effects for
two reasons:

1. All iavf_debug instances use standard printf formats, as pointed out
by Miguel Ojeda at the below link, meaning gnu_printf is not strictly
required.

2. However, GCC has aliased printf to gnu_printf on Linux since at least
2010 based on git history.

From gcc/c-family/c-format.c:

/* Attributes such as "printf" are equivalent to those such as
"gnu_printf" unless this is overridden by a target. */
static const target_ovr_attr gnu_target_overrides_format_attributes[] =
{
{ "gnu_printf", "printf" },
{ "gnu_scanf", "scanf" },
{ "gnu_strftime", "strftime" },
{ "gnu_strfmon", "strfmon" },
{ NULL, NULL }
};

The mentioned override only happens on Windows (mingw32). Changing from
gnu_printf to printf is a no-op for GCC and stops Clang from warning.
