net/mlx5: fw_tracer, Handle escaped percent properly

Browse source

[ Upstream commit c0289f67f7 ]

The firmware tracer's format string validation and parameter counting
did not properly handle escaped percent signs (%%). This caused
fw_tracer to count more parameters when trace format strings contained
literal percent characters.

To fix it, allow %% to pass string validation and skip %% sequences when
counting parameters since they represent literal percent signs rather
than format specifiers.
