Great. I have pushed the patch that removes printk_symbol() into printk.git, branch for-4.16-print-symbol.
Note that I have updated the commit message similar way like I did for the other commits. Especially I wanted to mention what it was obsoleted by. The message is:
kallsyms: remove print_symbol() function
No more print_symbol()/__print_symbol() users left, remove these symbols.
It was a very old API that encouraged people use continuous lines. It had been obsoleted by %pS format specifier in a normal printk() call.
