Make %p print '(null)' for NULL pointers
Before, when we only ever printed out the pointer value itself, a NULL
pointer would never cause issues and might as well be printed out as
just its numeric value.
However, with the extended %p formats, especially %pR, we might validly
want to print out resources for debugging. And sometimes they don't
even exist, and the resource pointer is just NULL. Print it out as
such, rather than oopsing.
This is a more generic version of a patch done by Trent Piepho (catching
all %p cases rather than just %pR, and using "(null)" instead of
"[NULL]" to match glibc).

sched: put back some stack hog changes that were undone in kernel/sched.c
Impact: prevents panic from stack overflow on numa-capable machines.
Some of the "removal of stack hogs" changes in kernel/sched.c by using
node_to_cpumask_ptr were undone by the early cpumask API updates, and
causes a panic due to stack overflow. This patch undoes those changes
by using cpumask_of_node() which returns a 'const struct cpumask *'.
In addition, cpu_coregoup_map is replaced with cpu_coregroup_mask further
reducing stack usage. (Both of these updates removed 9 FIXME's!)
Also:
Pick up some remaining changes from the old 'cpumask_t' functions to
the new 'struct cpumask *' functions.
Optimize memory traffic by allocating each percpu local_cpu_mask on the
same node as the referring cpu.
