[PATCH v2] ARM: Remove the special printing format of pc and lr in __show_regs()

When CONFIG_KALLSYMS is set, the parsed symbols of 'pc' and 'lr' are
printed. Otherwise, the raw content of 'pc' and 'lr' are printed in the
lines: "PC is at" and "LR is at". If at this point they are printed in
format [<%08lx>], the subsequent printing of 'pc' and 'lr' does not need
to follow this format again. This allows the register list to be printed
neatly.

For example:
CONFIG_KALLSYMS=y before:
PC is at test+0x58/0x74
LR is at test+0x28/0x74
pc : [<802f3868>]    lr : [<802f3838>]    psr: 60000013
sp : cabc5da8  ip : 00002ff4  fp : 00000001
r10: 81951018  r9 : 00400cc0  r8 : 7ffff000

CONFIG_KALLSYMS=n after:
PC is at [<802f369c>]
LR is at [<802f366c>]
pc : 802f369c  lr : 802f366c  psr: 60000013
sp : cabd9da8  ip : 00002ff4  fp : 00000001
r10: 827e6018  r9 : 00400cc0  r8 : 7ffff000

v1 --> v2:
On the basis of v1, print the instruction pointers in the lines of
"PC is at" and "LR is at" in format [<%08lx>] if CONFIG_KALLSYMS=n,
as is done in dump_backtrace_entry(). To make sure that tools like
scripts/decode_stacktrace.sh can output the symbols of 'pc' and 'lr'.

v1:
Change the format of "pc:" and "lr:" from [<%08lx>] to %08lx.
