This patch is needed to fix compilation error [1] caused by a patchset
that deprecates %pf/%pF printk modifiers[2].

IMHO, we should make sure that this fix goes into Linus' tree
before the printk-related patchset. What is the best practice,
please?

I see two reasonable possibilities. Either sched people could
push this for-4.15-rcX. Or I could put it into printk.git for-4.16
in the right order.

What do you think?
