[PATCH 4.16 240/279] x86/pkeys/selftests: Avoid printf-in-signal deadlocks

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.16-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit caf9eb6b4c82fc6cbd03697052ff22d97b0c377b ]

printf() and friends are unusable in signal handlers.  They deadlock.
The pkey selftest does not do any normal printing in signal handlers,
only extra debugging.  So, just print the format string so we get
*some* output when debugging.
