symbol lookup: introduce dereference_symbol_descriptor()

dereference_symbol_descriptor() invokes appropriate ARCH specific
function descriptor dereference callbacks:
- dereference_kernel_function_descriptor() if the pointer is a
  kernel symbol;

- dereference_module_function_descriptor() if the pointer is a
  module symbol.

This is the last step needed to make '%pS/%ps' smart enough to
handle function descriptor dereference on affected ARCHs and
to retire '%pF/%pf'.

To refresh it:
  Some architectures (ia64, ppc64, parisc64) use an indirect pointer
  for C function pointers - the function pointer points to a function
  descriptor and we need to dereference it to get the actual function
  pointer.

  Function descriptors live in .opd elf section and all affected
  ARCHs (ia64, ppc64, parisc64) handle it properly for kernel and
  modules. So we, technically, can decide if the dereference is
  needed by simply looking at the pointer: if it belongs to .opd
  section then we need to dereference it.

  The kernel and modules have their own .opd sections, obviously,
  that's why we need to split dereference_function_descriptor()
  and use separate kernel and module dereference arch callbacks.

-The ``F`` and ``f`` specifiers are for printing function pointers,
-for example, f->func, &gettimeofday. They have the same result as
-``S`` and ``s`` specifiers. But they do an extra conversion on
-ia64, ppc64 and parisc64 architectures where the function pointers
-are actually function descriptors.
+The ``S`` and ``s`` specifiers are used for printing a pointer in symbolic
+format. They result in the symbol name with (``S``) or without (``s``)
+offsets. If KALLSYMS are disabled then the symbol address is printed instead.
 
-The ``S`` and ``s`` specifiers can be used for printing symbols
-from direct addresses, for example, __builtin_return_address(0),
-(void *)regs->ip. They result in the symbol name with (``S``) or
-without (``s``) offsets. If KALLSYMS are disabled then the symbol
-address is printed instead.
+Note, that the ``F`` and ``f`` specifiers are identical to ``S`` (``s``)
+and thus deprecated. We have ``F`` and ``f`` because on ia64, ppc64 and
+parisc64 function pointers are indirect and, in fact, are function
+descriptors, which require additional dereferencing before we can lookup
+the symbol. As of now, ``S`` and ``s`` perform dereferencing on those
+platforms (when needed), so ``F`` and ``f`` exist for compatibility
+reasons only.
 
 The ``B`` specifier results in the symbol name with offsets and should be
 used when printing stack backtraces. The specifier takes into
 consideration the effect of compiler optimisations which may occur
 when tail-call``s are used and marked with the noreturn GCC attribute.
 
-Examples::
-
-	printk("Going to call: %pF\n", gettimeofday);
-	printk("Going to call: %pF\n", p->func);
-	printk("%s: called from %pS\n", __func__, (void *)_RET_IP_);
-	printk("%s: called from %pS\n", __func__,
-				(void *)__builtin_return_address(0));
-	printk("Faulted at %pS\n", (void *)regs->ip);
-	printk(" %s%pB\n", (reliable ? "" : "? "), (void *)*stack);
