Daniel Borkmann 1067964305 lib: vsprintf: add IPv4/v6 generic %p[Ii]S[pfs] format specifier
In order to avoid making code that deals with printing both, IPv4 and
IPv6 addresses, unnecessary complicated as for example ...

  if (sa.sa_family == AF_INET6)
    printk("... %pI6 ...", ..sin6_addr);
  else
    printk("... %pI4 ...", ..sin_addr.s_addr);

... it would be better to introduce a format specifier that can deal
with those kind of situations internally; just as we have a "struct
sockaddr" for generic mapping into "struct sockaddr_in" or "struct
sockaddr_in6" as e.g. done in "union sctp_addr". Then, we could
reduce the above statement into something like:

  printk("... %pIS ..", &sockaddr);

In case our pointer is NULL, pointer() then deals with that already at
an earlier point in time internally. While we're at it, support for both
%piS/%pIS, where 'S' stands for sockaddr, comes (almost) for free.

Additionally to that, postfix specifiers 'p', 'f' and 's' are supported
as suggested and initially implemented in 2009 by Joe Perches [1].
Handling of those additional specifiers orientate on the initial RFC that
was proposed. Also we support IPv6 compressed format specified by 'c' and
various other IPv4 extensions as stated in the documentation part.

Likely, there are many other areas than just SCTP in the kernel to make
use of this extension as well.
