checkpatch: Detect '%#' or '%0#' in printf-style format strings

According to the coding style document, we should use literal '0x' prefix
instead of printf's '#' flag (which appears as '%#' or '%0#' in the format
string).  Add a checkpatch rule to enforce that.

Note that checkpatch already had a similar rule for trace-events files.

Example usage:

  $ scripts/checkpatch.pl --file chardev/baum.c
  ...
  ERROR: Don't use '#' flag of printf format ('%#') in format strings, use '0x' prefix instead
  #366: FILE: chardev/baum.c:366:
  +            DPRINTF("Broken packet %#2x, tossing\n", req); \
  ...
  ERROR: Don't use '#' flag of printf format ('%#') in format strings, use '0x' prefix instead
  #472: FILE: chardev/baum.c:472:
  +        DPRINTF("unrecognized request %0#2x\n", req);
  ...
