Subject: [PATCH 04/12] blk-cgroup: use correct format characters

From: Bill Wendling <isanbard@...il.com>

When compiling with -Wformat, clang emits the following warnings:

mm/backing-dev.c:880:57: error: format string is not a string literal (potentially insecure) [-Werror,-Wformat-security]
        dev = device_create(bdi_class, NULL, MKDEV(0, 0), bdi, bdi->dev_name);
                                                               ^~~~~~~~~~~~~

Use a string literal for the format string.
