[RFC PATCHv2] printk: add the %pM, %p4, %p6 format specifiers

[Harvey Harrison <harvey.harrison@gmail.com>]

Add format specifiers for printing out colon-separated bytes:

MAC addresses (%pM):
xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

IPv4 addresses (%p4):
xx:xx:xx:xx

IPv6 addresses (%p6):
xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx

%#pM, %#p4, %#p6 are also supported and print without the colon
separators.

[Based on Johannes Berg's initial patch]

This one without the embarrassing index typos in ip6_address and mac_address.
