sas_ata_printk() formats its variadic arguments via struct va_format and
%pV before passing them to printk().
Because %pV hides the format string from the compiler, GCC does not suggest
the format attribute under -Wsuggest-attribute=format, and callers do not
get compile-time format string validation.
Add the __printf(3, 4) attribute to sas_ata_printk() to enable compile-time
format string checking for its callers.

I checked
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Common-Attributes.html#Common-Function-Attributes
format section, and this looks sane, so:
