Using a string literal as a format string is a possible bug when the
string contains '%' characters:

drivers/gpio/gpiolib-cdev.c:2813:48: error: format string is not a string literal (potentially insecure) [-Werror,-Wformat-security]
 2813 |         gdev->line_state_wq = alloc_ordered_workqueue(dev_name(&gdev->dev),
      |                                                       ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/gpio/gpiolib-cdev.c:2813:48: note: treat the string as an argument to avoid this
 2813 |         gdev->line_state_wq = alloc_ordered_workqueue(dev_name(&gdev->dev),
      |                                                       ^
      |                                                       "%s",

Do as clang suggests and use a trivial "%s" format string.
