From: Fuqian Huang <huangfq.daxian@xxxxxxxxx> commit c0a68944b036ee4856658c6a5c2c4cc030a1c587 upstream Outputting kernel addresses will reveal the locations of kernel code and data. And there is no need to print the address of function idt77252_init in idt77252_init. This case is similar to CVE-2018-7273[1]. Just remove the print statement.
