If we really have to do this. At least don't duplicate all this code. Do
the check in the printf argument:

	seq_printf(seq, "%4d: %08X:%04X %08X:%04X"
		...
		capable(CAP_NET_ADMIN) ? sp : 0,

I would even move the decision whether to expose kernel addresses or not
to a function so we can change behavior in one place.
