Typing 'btc' on kdb doing all sorts of fail.  Sometimes it would
crash, sometimes display nothing, and sometimes hang.

Bisect tracked this down to the commit ad67b74d2469 ("printk: hash
addresses printed with %p"), suggesting an obvious fix.  The pointer
used internally in kdb shouldn't be hashed, so switch it to %px.

Fixes: ad67b74d2469 ("printk: hash addresses printed with %p")

I think we've already got a fix for this:

Ah ha.  Nice!  Sorry for not noticing this.  The newest I tested was 4.19.
