This make sure a format string cannot leak into the work queue name nor
the printk buffer.

This is the third time this set of macros has entered the kernel:

drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/btcoexist/halbtcoutsrc.h
drivers/staging/rtl8192ee/btcoexist/halbtcoutsrc.h
drivers/staging/rtl8821ae/btcoexist/halbtcoutsrc.h

Can we extract these macros to some common place and keep them from returning?
