Subject: [RFC][PATCH v2 7/7] checkpatch: add pF/pf deprecation warning

We deprecated '%pF/%pf' printk specifiers, since '%pS/%ps' is now smart
enough to handle function pointer dereference on platforms where such
dereference is required.

checkpatch warning example:

WARNING: Use '%pS/%ps' instead. This pointer extension was deprecated: '%pF'
