Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Fix printk() on ERR_PTR()

vbin_printf() checks whether the provided pointer is larger
than -PAGE_SIZE such that it does not explode on ERR_PTR() pointers.
printk() does not.

Let's add this check also to the printk() code such that
trace_printk() and printk() are consistent again.
