kunit: Always print actual pointer values in asserts
KUnit assertions and expectations will print the values being tested. If these are pointers (e.g., KUNIT_EXPECT_PTR_EQ(test, a, b)), these pointers are currently printed with the %pK format specifier, which -- to prevent information leaks which may compromise, e.g., ASLR -- are often either hashed or replaced with ____ptrval____ or similar, making debugging tests difficult. By replacing %pK with %px as Documentation/core-api/printk-formats.rst suggests, we disable this security feature for KUnit assertions and expectations, allowing the actual pointer values to be printed. Given that KUnit is not intended for use in production kernels, and the pointers are only printed on failing tests, this seems like a worthwhile tradeoff.
