4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ [ Upstream commit 1efb6ee3edea57f57f9fb05dba8dcb3f7333f61f ] A format string consisting of "%p" or "%s" followed by an invalid specifier (e.g. "%p%\n" or "%s%") could pass the check which would make format_decode (lib/vsprintf.c) to warn.
