bpf: Eliminate remaining "make W=1" warnings in kernel/bpf/btf.o

As reported by Mirsad [1] we still see format warnings in kernel/bpf/btf.o
at W=1 warning level:

  CC      kernel/bpf/btf.o
./kernel/bpf/btf.c: In function ‘btf_type_seq_show_flags’:
./kernel/bpf/btf.c:7553:21: warning: assignment left-hand side might be a candidate for a format attribute [-Wsuggest-attribute=format]
 7553 |         sseq.showfn = btf_seq_show;
      |                     ^
./kernel/bpf/btf.c: In function ‘btf_type_snprintf_show’:
./kernel/bpf/btf.c:7604:31: warning: assignment left-hand side might be a candidate for a format attribute [-Wsuggest-attribute=format]
 7604 |         ssnprintf.show.showfn = btf_snprintf_show;
      |                               ^

Combined with CONFIG_WERROR=y these can halt the build.

The fix (annotating the structure field with __printf())
suggested by Mirsad resolves these. Apologies I missed this last time.
No other W=1 warnings were observed in kernel/bpf after this fix.
