Subject: [PATCH] trace: Use __printf markup to silence compiler

Silence warnings (triggered at W=1) by adding relevant __printf attributes.

  CC      kernel/trace/trace.o
kernel/trace/trace.c: In function ‘__trace_array_vprintk’:
kernel/trace/trace.c:2979:2: warning: function might be possible candidate for ‘gnu_printf’ format attribute [-Wsuggest-attribute=format]
  len = vscnprintf(tbuffer, TRACE_BUF_SIZE, fmt, args);
  ^~~
  AR      kernel/trace/built-in.o
