Subject: x86/alternative: Print unadorned pointers

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de>

(cherry picked from commit 0e6c16c652cadaffd25a6bb326ec10da5bcec6b4)

After commit ad67b74d2469 ("printk: hash addresses printed with %p")
pointers are being hashed when printed. However, this makes the alternative
debug output completely useless. Switch to %px in order to see the
unadorned kernel pointers.
