[PATCH 1/3] lib/vsprintf: Document %p parameters passed by reference

[Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org>]

From: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert+renesas@glider.be>

Make sure all %p extensions that take parameters by references are
documented to do so.

Signed-off-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert+renesas@glider.be>

This has been sent before as a separate patch, and was updated for the
addition of %pT.
