When a trace recorded on a 32-bit device is processed with a 64-bit
binary, the higher 32-bits of the address need to be masked.

The lack of this results in the output of the 64-bit pointer
value to the trace as the 32-bit address lookup fails in find_printk.

Before:
burn-1778  [003]   548.600305: bputs:   0xc0046db2s: 2cec5c058d98c

After:
burn-1778  [003]   548.600305: bputs:	0xc0046db2s: RT throttling activated

The problem occurs in PRINT_FEILD when the field is recognized as a pointer
to a string (of the type const char *)
