[PATCH v2 2/2] coredump: add __printf attribute to cn_*printf functions

[Nicolas Iooss]

This allows detecting improper format string at build time, like:

  fs/coredump.c:225:5: warning: format '%ld' expects argument of type
  'long int', but argument 3 has type 'int' [-Wformat=]
       err = cn_printf(cn, "%ld", cprm->siginfo->si_signo);
       ^

As si_signo is always an int, the format should be %d here.
