[PATCH] afs: use %pe to print error pointers in security.c

The error pointer returned by afs_request_key() and friends was printed via
%ld. This printed a raw negative errno, %pe prints the raw error
pointer directly so the symbolic error name is printed instead.

Replace %ld and PTR_ERR with %pe to improve readability of debug output.

Compile tested only.
