%b format usage fix

Consider attached patch, which fixes usage example in kvprintf(9) and friends: trailing '\n' in bitfield argument looks wrong, as it will be treated as bit 10, causing any code printing >=10 bits with bit 10 on as having a trailing comma.

Newline (intended one) should be part of the format string (already present in examples).
