vsprintf: use new vsprintf symbolic function pointer format
Use the '%pF' format to get rid of an "#ifdef DEBUG" and make some printks
atomic.
This removes the last in-tree uses of print_fn_descriptor_symbol(). I
marked print_fn_descriptor_symbol() deprecated and scheduled it for
removal next year to give time for out-of-tree modules to be updated.
parisc's print_fn_descriptor_symbol() is currently broken there (it needs
to dereference the function pointer similar to ia64 and power). This
patch shouldn't make anything worse, but it means we need to fix
dereference_function_descriptor() instead of print_fn_descriptor_symbol()
to get meaningful initcall_debug output.
