[PATCH v3 0/2] staging: vc04_services: Use %p to log pointer

%lx is used to print the unmodified pointer address for debugging.
%p will print the hashed pointer address to avoid leaking information
about kernel memory layout to userspace. But when `no_hash_pointers`
is passed as kernel parameter, unmodified pointer address will be
printed.

Hence, drop %lx in favour of %p. For debugging purposes, one can
easily depend on `no_hash_pointers` kernel parameter.

Changes in v3:
- reword commit subject line.

Changes in v2:
- Built/Rebased on top of:
