[PATCH] printk-formats.txt: remove unimplemented %pT

[PATCH] printk-formats.txt: remove unimplemented %pT

[Rasmus Villemoes]

%pT for task->comm has been proposed (several times, I think), but is
not actually implemented. Remove it from printk-formats.txt and add it
back if/when it gets implemented.

This slipped through in 5e4ee7b ("printk: synchronize %p formatting
documentation"), so I think the fix is appropriate for this cycle,
even if we're soon at -rc5.

Has it been in linux-next for a while at some point?

In any case currently indeed it's a dead doc.
