vsprintf: Add extension %pSR - print_symbol replacement
print_symbol takes a long and converts it to a function name and offset. %pS does something similar, but doesn't translate the address via __builtin_extract_return_addr. %pSR does the translation. This will enable replacing multiple calls like printk(...); printk_symbol(addr); printk("\n"); with a single non-interleavable in dmesg printk("... %pSR\n", (void *)addr); Update documentation too.
