Subject: [PATCH] printk-nmi: use %zu format string for size_t

Newly added code in vprintk_nmi prints a size_t using %lu, which causes
a warning on architectures like ARM where it is defined as unsigned int:

kernel/printk/nmi.c: In function '__printk_nmi_flush':
kernel/printk/nmi.c:143:10: warning: format '%lu' expects argument of type 'long unsigned int', but argument 3 has type 'size_t {aka unsigned int}' [-Wformat=]

This uses the format string that works on all architectures.

Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>
Fixes: 0dcfca2060ee ("printk-nmi-generic-solution-for-safe-printk-in-nmi-v4")

Found on arm randconfig builds
