vsprintf: Add %p extension "%pOF" for device tree



90% of the usage of device node's full_name is printing it out in a
kernel message. However, storing the full path for every node is
wasteful and redundant. With a custom format specifier, we can generate
the full path at run-time and eventually remove the full path from every
node.

For instance typical use is:
	pr_info("Frobbing node %s\n", node->full_name);

Which can be written now as:
	pr_info("Frobbing node %pOF\n", node);

'%pO' is the base specifier to represent kobjects with '%pOF'
representing struct device_node. Currently, struct device_node is the
only supported type of kobject.

More fine-grained control of formatting includes printing the name,
flags, path-spec name and others, explained in the documentation entry.

Originally written by Pantelis, but pretty much rewrote the core
function using existing string/number functions. The 2 passes were
unnecessary and have been removed. Also, updated the checkpatch.pl
check. The unittest code was written by Grant Likely.
