[PATCH] timer_list: Don't use %pK through printk

[Thomas Weißschuh]

This reverts
commit f590308536db ("timer debug: Hide kernel addresses via %pK in /proc/timer_list")

SEQ_printf() either uses the real seq_printf() to write implement a virtual
file or vprintk() to print to the kernel log.
In the past %pK was preferable to %p as it would not leak raw pointer
values into the kernel log.
Since commit ad67b74d2469 ("printk: hash addresses printed with %p")
the regular %p has been improved to avoid this issue.
Furthermore, restricted pointers ("%pK") were never meant to be used
through printk(). They can still unintentionally leak raw pointers or
acquire sleeping looks in atomic contexts.

Switch to the regular pointer formatting which is safer, easier to reason
about and sufficient here.
