Since commit ad67b74d2469d9b8 ("printk: hash addresses printed with %p"),
when a stack overflow happens "____ptrval____" is printed instead of the
real addresses:
BUG: stack guard page was hit at (____ptrval____) (stack is (____ptrval____)..(____ptrval____))
Even if leaking kernel layout information is usually a bad thing, probably
the system needs to be rebooted anyway past this point, so force the
address print as the obfuscation makes the error message useless.
