   How about we just undo the whole misguided probe_kernel_address() thing?

But the problem will remain - %pS/%pF on PPC (and some other arch-s)
do dereference_function_descriptor(), which calls probe_kernel_address().
So if probe_kernel_address() starts to dump_stack(), then we are heading
towards stack overflow. Unless I'm totally missing something.
