In order to build with clang at all, in order to see these symptoms, one
must first apply Valentin Obst's build fix for LLVM [1]. Once that is
done, then when building with clang, via:
make LLVM=1 -C tools/testing/selftests
...clang emits a "format string is empty" warning. (gcc also emits a
similar warning.)
Fix by passing NULL, instead of "", for the msg argument to
ksft_test_result_code(). This removes dozens of warnings and a few
errors (some tests have -Werror set).
