GCC 13.2.0 reported warning about (void *) being used as a param where (char *) is expected:
In file included from msg_oob.c:14: msg_oob.c: In function ‘__recvpair’: ../../kselftest_harness.h:106:40: warning: format ‘%s’ expects argument of type ‘char *’, \ but argument 6 has type ‘const void *’ [-Wformat=] 106 | fprintf(TH_LOG_STREAM, "# %s:%d:%s:" fmt "\n", \ | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~ ../../kselftest_harness.h:101:17: note: in expansion of macro ‘__TH_LOG’ 101 | __TH_LOG(fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__); \ | ^~~~~~~~ msg_oob.c:235:17: note: in expansion of macro ‘TH_LOG’ 235 | TH_LOG("Expected:%s", expected_errno ? strerror(expected_errno) : expected_buf); | ^~~~~~ ../../kselftest_harness.h:106:40: warning: format ‘%s’ expects argument of type ‘char *’, \ but argument 6 has type ‘const void *’ [-Wformat=] 106 | fprintf(TH_LOG_STREAM, "# %s:%d:%s:" fmt "\n", \ | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~ ../../kselftest_harness.h:101:17: note: in expansion of macro ‘__TH_LOG’ 101 | __TH_LOG(fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__); \ | ^~~~~~~~ msg_oob.c:259:25: note: in expansion of macro ‘TH_LOG’ 259 | TH_LOG("Expected:%s", expected_errno ? strerror(expected_errno) : expected_buf); | ^~~~~~
As Simon suggested, all calls to __recvpair() have char * as expected_buf param, so it is safe to change param type from (const void *) to (const char *), which silences the warning.

v1: initial version to fix the compiler warning.
