[PATCH] usercopy: Remove pointer from overflow report

[Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>]

Using %p was already mostly useless in the usercopy overflow reports,
so this removes it entirely to avoid confusion now that %p-hashing
is enabled.

Fixes: ad67b74d2469d9b8 ("printk: hash addresses printed with %p")

I have follow-ups to this that include the offset in reporting, but it's a
large enough refactoring that I don't think it should go into a late -rc like
this. I'll send it as part of the 4.16 merge window instead.
