Subject: [PATCH 4.14] atm:idt77252: Fix a kernel address leakage in idt77252

Outputting kernel addresses will reveal the locations of kernel code
and data. And there is no need to print the address of 
function idt77252_init in idt77252_init. 
This case is similar to CVE-2018-7273[1].
Just remove the print statement.
