Isn't there some better place to put this than printk.h? Anyway, you
probably want the ptr member to be "const void*", to avoid "... discards
const qualifier" warnings when somebody happens to have a "const struct
foobar *".

AFAICT, this function is only compiled if CONFIG_BPF=y and
CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL=y, and I don't see any static inline stub defined
anywhere. Have you built the kernel with one or both of those turned off?
