Revert "proc/wchan: use printk format instead of lookup_symbol_name()"

commit 54354c6a upstream.

This reverts commit 152c432b

.

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.
