[PATCH 2/3] vsprintf: print <no-symbol> if symbol not found

[Tobin C. Harding]

Depends on: commit bd6b239cdbb2 ("kallsyms: don't leak address when
symbol not found")

Currently vsprintf for specifiers %p[SsB] relies on the behaviour of
kallsyms (sprint_symbol()) and prints the actual address if a symbol is
not found. Previous patch changes this behaviour so tha sprint_symbol()
returns an error if symbol not found. With this patch in place we can
print a sanitized message '<no-symbol>' instead of leaking the address.

Print '<no-symbol>' for printk specifier %s[sSB] if no symbol is found.
