[PATCH v3 2/3] vsprintf: print <symbol not found> if symbol not found

[Tobin C. Harding]

Depends on: commit 40eee173a35e ("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 that sprint_symbol()
returns an error if symbol not found. With this patch in place we can
print a sanitized message '<symbol not found>' instead of leaking the
address.

Print '<symbol not found>' for printk specifier %p[sSB] if symbol look
up fails.
