lib/vsprintf: Remove atomic-unsafe support for %pCr
commit 666902e42fd8344b923c02dc5b0f37948ff4f225 upstream.
"%pCr" formats the current rate of a clock, and calls clk_get_rate().
The latter obtains a mutex, hence it must not be called from atomic
context.
Remove support for this rarely-used format, as vsprintf() (and e.g.
printk()) must be callable from any context.
Any remaining out-of-tree users will start seeing the clock's name
printed instead of its rate.
