    When adding __printf attribute to cn_printf, gcc reports some issues:
    
      fs/coredump.c:213:5: warning: format '%d' expects argument of type
      'int', but argument 3 has type 'kuid_t' [-Wformat=]
           err = cn_printf(cn, "%d", cred->uid);
           ^
      fs/coredump.c:217:5: warning: format '%d' expects argument of type
      'int', but argument 3 has type 'kgid_t' [-Wformat=]
           err = cn_printf(cn, "%d", cred->gid);
           ^
    
    These warnings come from the fact that the value of uid/gid needs to be
    extracted from the kuid_t/kgid_t structure before being used as an
    integer.  More precisely, cred->uid and cred->gid need to be converted to
    either user-namespace uid/gid or to init_user_ns uid/gid.
    
    Use init_user_ns in order not to break existing ABI, and document this in
    Documentation/sysctl/kernel.txt.
    
    While at it, format uid and gid values with %u instead of %d because
    uid_t/__kernel_uid32_t and gid_t/__kernel_gid32_t are unsigned int.
