Subject: stacktrace, lockdep: Fix address, newline ugliness

From: Omar Sandoval <osandov@fb.com>

commit bfeda41d06d85ad9d52f2413cfc2b77be5022f75 upstream.

Since KERN_CONT became meaningful again, lockdep stack traces have had
annoying extra newlines, like this:

[    5.561122] -> #1 (B){+.+...}:
[    5.561528]
[    5.561532] [<ffffffff810d8873>] lock_acquire+0xc3/0x210
[    5.562178]
[    5.562181] [<ffffffff816f6414>] mutex_lock_nested+0x74/0x6d0
[    5.562861]

[    5.563717]
[    5.563721] [<ffffffff81000472>] do_one_initcall+0x52/0x1b0
[    5.564554]
[    5.564559] [<ffffffff811a3af6>] do_init_module+0x5f/0x209
[    5.565357]
[    5.565361] [<ffffffff81122f4d>] load_module+0x218d/0x2b80
[    5.566020]
[    5.566021] [<ffffffff81123beb>] SyS_finit_module+0xeb/0x120
[    5.566694]
[    5.566696] [<ffffffff816fd241>] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x1f/0xc2

That's happening because each printk() call now gets printed on its own
line, and we do a separate call to print the spaces before the symbol.
Fix it by doing the printk() directly instead of using the
print_ip_sym() helper.

Additionally, the symbol address isn't very helpful, so let's get rid of
that, too. The final result looks like this:

[    5.194518] -> #1 (B){+.+...}:
[    5.195002]        lock_acquire+0xc3/0x210
[    5.195439]        mutex_lock_nested+0x74/0x6d0
[    5.196491]        do_one_initcall+0x52/0x1b0
[    5.196939]        do_init_module+0x5f/0x209
[    5.197355]        load_module+0x218d/0x2b80
[    5.197792]        SyS_finit_module+0xeb/0x120
[    5.198251]        entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x1f/0xc2
