commit a25ffd3a6302a67814280274d8f1aa4ae2ea4b59 upstream.

Printing raw pointer values in backtraces has potential security
implications and are of questionable value anyway.

This patch follows x86's lead and removes the "Exception stack:" dump
from kernel backtraces, as well as converting PC/LR values to symbols
such as "sysrq_handle_crash+0x20/0x30".

[bwh: Backported to 3.16:
 - Deleted code in dump_mem() and dump_backtrace_entry() is a bit different
 - Leave dump_backtrace() unchanged, since it doesn't use dump_mem()]
