Subject: [PATCH v4 3/6] powerpc/traps: Use %lx format in show_signal_msg()

Use %lx format to print registers.  This avoids having two different
formats and avoids checking for MSR_64BIT, improving readability of the
function.

Even though we could have used %px, which is functionally equivalent to %lx
as per Documentation/core-api/printk-formats.rst, it is not semantically
correct because the data printed are not pointers.  And using %px requires
casting data to (void *).

Besides that, %lx matches the format used in show_regs().

Before this patch:

  pandafault[4808]: unhandled signal 11 at 0000000010000718 nip 0000000010000574 lr 00007fff935e7a6c code 2

After this patch:

  pandafault[4732]: unhandled signal 11 at 10000718 nip 10000574 lr 7fff86697a6c code 2
