timer_list: Don't use %pK through printk()
This reverts commit f590308536db ("timer debug: Hide kernel addresses via
%pK in /proc/timer_list")
The timer list helper SEQ_printf() uses either the real seq_printf() for
procfs output or vprintk() to print to the kernel log, when invoked from
SysRq-q. It uses %pK for printing pointers.
In the past %pK was prefered over %p as it would not leak raw pointer
values into the kernel log. Since commit ad67b74d2469 ("printk: hash
addresses printed with %p") the regular %p has been improved to avoid this
issue.
Furthermore, restricted pointers ("%pK") were never meant to be used
through printk(). They can still unintentionally leak raw pointers or
acquire sleeping looks in atomic contexts.
Switch to the regular pointer formatting which is safer, easier to reason
about and sufficient here.
