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.
