scripts: checkpatch: diagnose uses of `%pA` in the C side as errors
The `%pA` format specifier is only intended to be used from Rust.
`checkpatch.pl` already gives a warning for invalid specificers:
WARNING: Invalid vsprintf pointer extension '%pA'
This makes it an error and introduces an explanatory message:
ERROR: Invalid vsprintf pointer extension '%pA' - '%pA' is only intended to be used from Rust code
