Subject: [PATCH v5 08/11] vsprintf: Factor out %pO handler as kobject_string()

Move code from the long pointer() function. We are going to add a check for
the access to the address that will make it even more complicated.

Also it is better to warn about unknown specifier instead of falling
back to the %p behavior. It will help people to understand what is
going wrong. They expect some device node names and not a pointer
in this situation.

In fact, this avoids leaking the address when invalid %pO format
specifier is used. The old code fallen back to printing the
non-hashed value.

Fixes: commit 7b1924a1d930eb27f ("vsprintf: add printk specifier %px")
