Rather than export a macro that delegates to `core::format_args`, simply
re-export `core::format_args` as `fmt` from the prelude. This exposes
clippy warnings which were previously obscured by this macro, such as:

    warning: variables can be used directly in the `format!` string
      --> ../drivers/cpufreq/rcpufreq_dt.rs:21:43

    21 +     let prop_name = CString::try_from_fmt(fmt!("{name}-supply")).ok()?;
       |

Thus fix them in the same commit. This could possibly be fixed in two
stages, but the diff is small enough (outside of kernel/str.rs) that I
hope it can taken in a single commit.

Thanks Viresh -- I will add this one if I rebase, since Stephen
already solved a conflict with it (I should have pinged earlier I
guess, sorry; I thought you guys didn't Ack so far since it was
trivial, but thanks to you both for them).

Cheers,
Miguel

Just noticed a tiny typo here: it should say "can *be* taken".

Miguel, if you can fix that on apply, please do - but if not, no worries.

Done! (We could also have removed that sentence too, since it sounds a
bit like something one would write after the `---` line).

Yeah, agreed. Removing it would be fine by me as well!
