We were in the commit Cc tags but somehow they didn't make it in the email
tags.

Here is the tip-bot email:

tracing/trace_stack: Fix stack trace on ppc64

save_stack_trace() stores the instruction pointer, not the
function descriptor. On ppc64 the trace stack code currently
dereferences the instruction pointer and shows 8 bytes of
instructions in our backtraces:

# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/stack_trace

8) 3936 272 0xe84100282fa30000

Since we aren't dealing with function descriptors, use %pS
instead of %pF to fix it:
