lib: Correct printk %pF to work on all architectures
It was introduced by "vsprintf: add support for '%pS' and '%pF' pointer
formats" in commit 0fe1ef24f7bd0020f29ffe287dfdb9ead33ca0b2. However,
the current way its coded doesn't work on parisc64. For two reasons: 1)
parisc isn't in the #ifdef and 2) parisc has a different format for
function descriptors
Make dereference_function_descriptor() more accommodating by allowing
architecture overrides. I put the three overrides (for parisc64, ppc64
and ia64) in arch/kernel/module.c because that's where the kernel
internal linker which knows how to deal with function descriptors sits.
