ARM: reduce the information printed in call traces
A while back, Linus complained about the numeric values printed by the ARM backtracing code. Printing these values does not make sense if one does not have access to the kernel ELF image (as is normally the case when helping a third party on a mailing list), but if one does, they can be very useful to find the code, rather than searching for the function name, and then doing hex math to work out where the backtrace entry is referring to. Provide an option to control whether this information is included, which will only be visible if EXPERT is enabled. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@armlinux.org.uk>

When the kernel produces a warning or oops, the kernel prints a

trace of the call chain. This option controls whether we include

the numeric addresses or only include the symbolic information.
