Subject: [patch] vsprintf: use new vsprintf symbolic function pointer format

Use the '%pF' format to get rid of an "#ifdef DEBUG" and make
some printks atomic.

This removes the last in-tree uses of print_fn_descriptor_symbol().
I marked print_fn_descriptor_symbol() deprecated and scheduled it
for removal next year to give time for out-of-tree modules to be
updated.

I cc'd the parisc folks because print_fn_descriptor_symbol() is
currently broken there (it needs to dereference the function pointer
similar to ia64 and power).  This patch shouldn't make anything worse,
but it means we need to fix dereference_function_descriptor() instead
of print_fn_descriptor_symbol() to get meaningful initcall_debug
output.
