[PATCH v2 1/2] vsprintf: Don't leak pointers for %ps without KALLSYMS enabled

[Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>]

The "%ps" format modifier prints the name of the symbol which is more
valuable in terms of debugging and does not leak the actual pointer.

Without KALLSYMS it will leak the pointer which is not intended. The
default policy for pointers is to print a hashed value and not to leak
the actual pointer.

For !KALLSYMS, print "(unknown)" for any symbol resolution. If hashed
pointer are disabled print the bare number.
