[PATCH v6 7/9] vsprintf: Consolidate handling of unknown pointer specifiers

[Petr Mladek <pmladek@suse.com>]

There are few printk formats that make sense only with two or more
specifiers. Also some specifiers make sense only when a kernel feature
is enabled.

The handling of unknown specifiers is inconsistent and not helpful.
Using WARN() looks like an overkill for this type of error. pr_warn()
is not good either. It would by handled via printk_safe buffer and
it might be hard to match it with the problematic string.

A reasonable compromise seems to be writing the unknown format specifier
into the original string with a question mark, for example (%pC?).
It should be self-explaining enough. Note that it is in brackets
to follow the (null) style.

Note that the changes in test_printf.c revert many changes made
by the commit 4d42c44727a062e233 ("lib/vsprintf: Print time and
date in human readable format via %pt\n"). The format %pt does
not longer produce a hashed pointer.
