For kernel builds on FreeBSD, we redefine `__printf__` to
`__freebsd_kprintf__`, to support FreeBSD kernel printf(9) extensions
with clang.
In OpenZFS various printf related functions are declared with
`__attribute__((format(printf, X, Y)))`, so these won't work with the
above redefinition. With clang 21 and higher, this leads to errors
similar to:
sys/contrib/openzfs/module/zfs/spa_misc.c:414:38: error: passing
'printf' format string where 'freebsd_kprintf' format string is
expected [-Werror,-Wformat]
414 | (void) vsnprintf(buf, sizeof (buf), fmt, adx);
| ^
Since attribute names can always be spelled with leading and trailing
double underscores, rename these instances.
Note that in the FreeBSD base system we usually use `__printflike` from
`<sys/cdefs.h>`, but that does not apply to OpenZFS.

Motivation and Context
This fixes OpenZFS kernel builds on FreeBSD, with clang 21 or higher.
Description
For kernel builds on FreeBSD, we redefine
__printf__to__freebsd_kprintf__, to support FreeBSD kernel printf(9) extensions with clang.In OpenZFS various printf related functions are declared with
__attribute__((format(printf, X, Y))), so these won't work with the above redefinition. With clang 21 and higher, this leads to errors similar to:Since attribute names can always be spelled with leading and trailing double underscores, rename these instances.
Note that in the FreeBSD base system we usually use
__printflikefrom<sys/cdefs.h>, but that does not apply to OpenZFS.How Has This Been Tested?
This is a mechanical change that only spells the attributes differently, and has no effect on the generated code. It compiles without any issue, and has been committed to FreeBSD itself in freebsd/freebsd-src@bcd9ea8.
