vsprintf: don't use 'restricted_pointer()' when not restricting
Instead, just fall back on the new '%p' behavior which hashes the pointer. Otherwise, '%pK' - that was intended to mark a pointer as restricted - just ends up leaking pointers that a normal '%p' wouldn't leak. Which just make the whole thing pointless. I suspect we should actually get rid of '%pK' entirely, and make it just work as '%p' regardless, but this is the minimal obvious fix. People who actually use 'kptr_restrict' should weigh in on which behavior they want.
