Subject: lib/vsprintf.c: don't try to fix pointer wrap-around
Actual kernel buffers can't wrap into the user address space. If someone
manages to pass a buf/size combination that wraps, it is most likely due
to a bug in the caller. Instead of trying to fix it by using a smaller
part of the buffer, bail out.
