kdb: print real address of pointers instead of hashed addresses
commit 568fb6f42ac6851320adaea25f8f1b94de14e40a upstream.
Since commit ad67b74d2469 ("printk: hash addresses printed with %p"),
all pointers printed with %p are printed with hashed addresses
instead of real addresses in order to avoid leaking addresses in
dmesg and syslog. But this applies to kdb too, with is unfortunate:
Entering kdb (current=0x(ptrval), pid 329) due to Keyboard Entry
kdb> ps
15 sleeping system daemon (state M) processes suppressed,
use 'ps A' to see all.

The whole purpose of kdb is to debug, and for debugging real addresses
need to be known. In addition, data displayed by kdb doesn't go into
dmesg.
This patch replaces all %p by %px in kdb in order to display real
addresses.
