Subject: [PATCH 3/4] checkpatch: warn for use of %px

Usage of the new %px specifier potentially leaks sensitive
inforamtion. Printing kernel addresses exposes the kernel layout in
memory, this is potentially exploitable. We have tools in the kernel to
help us do the right thing. We can have checkpatch warn developers of
potential dangers of using %px.

Have checkpatch emit a warning for usage of specifier %px.
