Subject: [PATCH] x86: Avoid pr_cont() in show_opcodes()

From: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@...ove.SKAURA.ne.jp>

Since syzbot is confused by concurrent printk() messages [1],
this patch changes show_opcodes() to use snprintf().

When we start adding prefix to each line of printk() output,
we will be able to handle concurrent printk() messages.
