As noted below, these additions don't really do anything.
Unfortunately, they just make compiler warnings noisier in the case of
kunit_log_append().

But if this silences a W=1 warning, then we should probably add them in.
I guess it also serves as documentation that we're using the same
standard format specifiers and not something custom, which is nice.

Before this patch:

After this patch, it gets noisier:

This is never called with a literal `fmt` string.
It's currently only ever called through the _add variant, which does
have __printf(2,3).

So this can't catch any mistakes currently.
And I think it's hard to imagine we'd ever pass in a literal format
string w/ a va_list.
