vsprintf.c: use default pointer field size for "(null)" strings

It might be nicer to align the output. For instance, ACPI messages sometimes have "(null)" pointers. $ dmesg | grep "(null)" -A 1 -B 1 [ 0.198733] ACPI: Dynamic OEM Table Load: [ 0.198745] ACPI: SSDT (null) 00239 (v02 PmRef Cpu0Ist 00003000 INTL 20051117) [ 0.199294] ACPI: SSDT 7f596e10 001C7 (v02 PmRef Cpu0Cst 00003001 INTL 20051117) [ 0.200708] ACPI: Dynamic OEM Table Load: [ 0.200721] ACPI: SSDT (null) 001C7 (v02 PmRef Cpu0Cst 00003001 INTL 20051117) [ 0.201950] ACPI: SSDT 7f597f10 000D0 (v02 PmRef Cpu1Ist 00003000 INTL 20051117) [ 0.203386] ACPI: Dynamic OEM Table Load: [ 0.203398] ACPI: SSDT (null) 000D0 (v02 PmRef Cpu1Ist 00003000 INTL 20051117) [ 0.203871] ACPI: SSDT 7f595f10 00083 (v02 PmRef Cpu1Cst 00003000 INTL 20051117) [ 0.205301] ACPI: Dynamic OEM Table Load: [ 0.205315] ACPI: SSDT (null) 00083 (v02 PmRef Cpu1Cst 00003000 INTL 20051117) [[email protected]: add code comment] Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <[email protected]> Cc: Ingo Molnar <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <[email protected]>
