checkpatch: add ethtool_sprintf rules

Add some warnings for using ethtool_sprintf() where a simple
ethtool_puts() would suffice.

The two cases are:

1) Use ethtool_sprintf() with just two arguments:
|       ethtool_sprintf(&data, driver[i].name);
or
2) Use ethtool_sprintf() with a standalone "%s" fmt string:
|       ethtool_sprintf(&data, "%s", driver[i].name);

The former may cause -Wformat-security warnings while the latter is just
not preferred. Both are safely in the category of warnings, not errors.
