net: amd-xgbe: fix clang -Wformat warning



see warning:
| drivers/net/ethernet/amd/xgbe/xgbe-drv.c:2787:43: warning: format specifies
| type 'unsigned short' but the argument has type 'int' [-Wformat]
|        netdev_dbg(netdev, "Protocol: %#06hx\n", ntohs(eth->h_proto));
|                                      ~~~~~~     ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Variadic functions (printf-like) undergo default argument promotion.
Documentation/core-api/printk-formats.rst specifically recommends
using the promoted-to-type's format flag.

Also, as per C11 6.3.1.1:
(https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1548.pdf)
`If an int can represent all values of the original type ..., the
value is converted to an int; otherwise, it is converted to an
unsigned int. These are called the integer promotions.`

Since the argument is a u16 it will get promoted to an int and thus it is
most accurate to use the %x format specifier here. It should be noted that the
`#06` formatting sugar does not alter the promotion rules.
