checkpatch: add warning for unnecessary use of %h[xudi] and %hh[xudi]

Modifiers %h and %hh should never be used.

Commit cbacb5ab0aa0 ("docs: printk-formats: Stop encouraging use of
unnecessary %h[xudi] and %hh[xudi]") specifies that:

 "Standard integer promotion is already done and %hx and %hhx is useless
  so do not encourage the use of %hh[xudi] or %h[xudi]."

 "The "h" and "hh" things should never be used. The only reason for them
  being used if you have an "int", but you want to print it out as a
  "char" (and honestly, that is a really bad reason, you'd be better off
  just using a proper cast to make the code more obvious)."

Add a new check to emit a warning on finding an unneeded use of %h or
%hh modifier.

Also add a fix option to the check.
