Commit Message

This reverts commit 152c432b128cb043fc107e8f211195fe94b2159c.

When a kernel address couldn't be symbolized for /proc/$pid/wchan, it
would leak the raw value, a potential information exposure. This is a
regression compared to the safer pre-v5.12 behavior.

Instead of reverting, another possibility might be to depend on
CONFIG_KALLSYMS before using the %ps format specifier and print "0" otherwise.
If it can't be symbolized it's most likely not a valid kernel address
and as such wouldn't leak anything....
But well,
