[RFC] vsprintf: compile error on %09pK

[Jaewon Kim]

Hello

I've just changed %09lx to %09pK on my driver code to hide the address, but I
faced compiler error. The %9pK without 0 worked.

Is there restriction on %pK which does now allow %0 ? I've wondered whether I
did wrong or it is a printk problem.

To show easily I tried to add pr_info("%09pK\n", nodemask); in page_alloc.c
Then here's what I did.

$ ARCH=x86 make x86_64_defconfig ; make mm/page_alloc.o
#
# No change to .config
#
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  DESCEND objtool
  INSTALL libsubcmd_headers
  CC      mm/page_alloc.o
