[PATCH v3 00/14] printf stuff for 4.5

[Rasmus Villemoes]

I was too late for 4.4, so here's hoping to get this into 4.5.

1-3 fix a theoretical race in printing strings via %s - since we're
reusing existing code from the dentry printer, we actually also win on
code size. Ingo, can I perhaps get you to turn your "looks good to"
into an ack?

4 fixes a problem introduced by converting all bitmap formatting to go
via %pb[l] - it turns out that bitmaps with >= 1<<15 bits are actually
printed sometimes. This isn't necessarily the best fix, but the
discussion died out, so I'm proposing this for now.

5 is just a minor optimization (maybe not so much on
register-challenged arches).

6 I'm not too sure about, but maybe the bitmap problem had been
discovered sooner (it took a little over half a year to be reported)
if these had been in place.

Paranoid-me wanted me to include patch 7, but I don't have strong
feelings for it.

8-14 are minor additions to the test module (some with acks from
Kees).
