docs: printk-formats: update size-casting examples

Since commit 72deb455 ("block: remove CONFIG_LBDAF") sector_t and
blkcnt_t types are no longer variable in size, making them unsuitable
examples for casting to the largest possible type. This patch replaces
such examples with cycles_t and blk_status_t types, whose sizes depend
on architecture and config options respectively.

If <type> is dependent on a config option for its size (e.g., sector_t,
blkcnt_t) or is architecture-dependent for its size (e.g., tcflag_t), use a
format specifier of its largest possible type and explicitly cast to it.
If <type> is architecture-dependent for its size (e.g., cycles_t, tcflag_t) or
is dependent on a config option for its size (e.g., blk_status_t), use a format
specifier of its largest possible type and explicitly cast to it.
Example::
printk("test: sector number/total blocks: %llu/%llu\n",
(unsigned long long)sector, (unsigned long long)blockcount);
printk("test: latency: %llu cycles\n", (unsigned long long)time);
Reminder: sizeof() returns type size_t.
