Argh, it seems like a bug in printk's %pB format processing.. :-/

It subtract 1 from the address for stacktrace.  Please see the commit
0f77a8d37825 ("vsprintf: Introduce %pB format specifier") and
71f9e59800e5 ("x86, dumpstack: Use %pB format specifier for stack
trace") for details.  But it should restore the original address when it
failed to find a symbol for that address.

I'll send a fix soon.

Thanks,
Namhyung
