__printf marker was added in commit d2cc4dde9206 ("bdi_register: add
__printf verification, fix arg mismatch") for function `bdi_register`
since it is useful to verify format and arguments. Apply equivalent gcc
attribute to `bdi_register_va`.
Remove warning triggered with W=1:
mm/backing-dev.c:881:2: warning: function might be possible candidate for ‘gnu_printf’ format attribute [-Wsuggest-attribute=format]
