This is a response to 8dd0ee823f1829a3aa228c3c73e31de5c89b5317.

Instead of having an empty string as format for the printf like function
status_printf_ln, we could insert an empty string into the format
parameter.

A similar fixup commit is found in linux (2e4c332913b5), but there
the empty string is replaced by a string containing one whitespace.

To determine, which approach is better I setup 2 test programs, which
either have a whitespace format (" ") or the empty string ("%s", ""),
looking like:
-
        #include <stdlib.h>
        #include <stdio.h>
        int main (int argc, char** argv) {
                long i;
                for (i = 0; i < 1024*1024*1024; ++i)
                        printf(" ");
        }
-
Checking the required time of the programs, while redirecting the actual
output (the billion white spaces compared to nothing) to /dev/null
indicates that the approach used in this patch is faster regardless
of the optimization level of gcc.

Also this patch doesn't change output, which favors this approach over
the whitespace approach.

The only thing left to discuss, whether this patch is worth it, as it
only suppresses false positive warnings from gcc, but makes the
code slightly harder to read.
