Subject: selftests: timers: Fix posix_timers ksft_print_msg() warning
From: John Stultz <jstultz@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit e4a6bceac98eba3c00e874892736b34ea5fdaca3 upstream.
After commit 6d029c25b71f ("selftests/timers/posix_timers: Reimplement
check_timer_distribution()") the following warning occurs when building
with an older gcc:
posix_timers.c:250:2: warning: format not a string literal and no format arguments [-Wformat-security]
250 | ksft_print_msg(errmsg);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fix this up by changing it to ksft_print_msg("%s", errmsg)
