Both "model" and "strflags" are passed to "%s" even when one or both are
NULL.

It is safe because vsprintf() would detect the NULL pointer and print
"(null)". But it is a kernel-specific feature and compiler warns about it:

</warning>

Do not rely on the kernel specific behavior and print the message a safe
way.
