bug: Hush suggest-attribute=format for __warn_printf()

Recent additions to this function cause GCC 14.3.0 to get excited
(W=1) and suggest a missing attribute:

lib/bug.c: In function â=80=98__warn_printfâ=80=99:
lib/bug.c:187:25: error: function ‘__warn_printf’ might be a candidate for ‘gnu_printf’ format attribute [-Werror=suggest-attribute=format]
  187 |                         vprintk(fmt, *args);
      |                         ^~~~~~~

Disable the diagnostic locally, following the pattern used for stuff
like va_format().
