net/mlx5: fw_tracer, Handle escaped percent properly
The firmware tracer's format string validation and parameter counting did not properly handle escaped percent signs (%%). This caused fw_tracer to count more parameters when trace format strings contained literal percent characters. To fix it, allow %% to pass string validation and skip %% sequences when counting parameters since they represent literal percent signs rather than format specifiers.
