[PATCH] kernel/workqueue: Verify alloc_workqueue() argument list consistency

From: Bart Van Assche
Date: Tue Mar 19 2019 - 13:40:59 EST


This patch avoids that gcc reports the following warning when building
with W=1:

kernel/workqueue.c:4250:2: warning: function alloc_workqueue might be a candidate for gnu_printf format attribute [-Wsuggest-attribute=format]
vsnprintf(wq->name, sizeof(wq->name), fmt, args);

Fixes: 669de8bda87b ("kernel/workqueue: Use dynamic lockdep keys for workqueues")
