3.8.13.22 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming at intel.com>

commit a0c32761e73c9999cbf592b702f284221fea8040 upstream.

Kees reported the following error:

   arch/sh/kernel/dumpstack.c: In function 'print_trace_address':
   arch/sh/kernel/dumpstack.c:118:2: error: format not a string literal and no format arguments [-Werror=format-security]

Use the "%s" format so that it's impossible to interpret 'data' as a
format string.
