Subject: selftests/mm: fix two -Wformat-security warnings in uffd builds
Date: Tue, 6 Jun 2023 00:16:32 -0700
The uffd tests generate two compile time warnings from clang's
-Wformat-security setting. These trigger at the call sites for
uffd_test_start() and uffd_test_skip().
1) Fix the uffd_test_start() issue by removing the intermediate
test_name variable (thanks to David Hildenbrand for showing how to do
this).
2) Fix the uffd_test_skip() issue by observing that there is no need for
a macro and a variable args approach, because all callers of
uffd_test_skip() pass in a simple char* string, without any format
specifiers. So just change uffd_test_skip() into a regular C function.
