This changes the oops and backtrace code to use the new %pS
printk extension to print out symbols rather than manually
calling print_symbol.

Ok, I ended up committing the suppor for '%pS' early (as a series of 
smaller patches to make it clearer), just because it makes it easier for 
different people to start converthing things with the infrastructure in 
place.

Out of interest, why is it %pS and not %Sp? Shouldn't the modifier come
first? What if we want to print a pointer immediately followed by a
capital S?
