      vsprintf: add %ps that is the same as %pS but is like %pf · 91adcd2c

      On PowerPC64 function pointers do not point directly at the functions,
      but instead point to pointers to the functions. The output of %pF expects
      to point to a pointer to the function, whereas %pS will show the function
      itself.
      
      mcount returns the direct pointer to the function and not the pointer to
      the pointer. Thus %pS must be used to show this. The function tracer
      requires printing of the functions without offsets and uses the %pf
      instead.
      
       %pF produces run_local_timers+0x4/0x1f
       %pf produces just run_local_timers
      
      For PowerPC64, we need to use the direct pointer, and we only have
      %pS which will produce .run_local_timers+0x4/0x1f
      
      This patch creates a %ps that matches the %pf as %pS matches %pF.
