PATCH v2 1/1 selftests/futex: fix format-security warnings in futex_priv_hash

Fix format-security warnings by using proper format strings when passing message variables to ksft_exit_fail_msg(), ksft_test_result_pass(), and ksft_test_result_skip() function.

This prevents potential security issues and eliminates compiler warnings when building with -Wformat-security.

---

Changes in v2:
- Fix typo in subject: "selftest" -> "selftests"
- Retested compilation and functionality
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/
