[PATCH 1/1] genksyms: add printf format attribute to error_with_pos()

[Nicolas Iooss]

When compiling with -Wsuggest-attribute=format in HOSTCFLAGS, gcc
complains that error_with_pos() may be declared with a printf format
attribute:

    scripts/genksyms/genksyms.c:726:3: warning: function might be
    possible candidate for âgnu_printfâ format attribute
    [-Wsuggest-attribute=format]
       vfprintf(stderr, fmt, args);
       ^~~~~~~~

This would allow catching printf-format errors at compile time in
callers to error_with_pos(). Add this attribute.

I am sending this to the maintainers listed in section "KERNEL BUILD +
files below scripts/ (unless maintained elsewhere)" even though it does
not list scripts/genksyms/. Should this directory be added in
MAINTAINERS?
