I think we cannot use %px here for security reasons?  checkpatch is also
warning about it:

WARNING: Using vsprintf specifier '%px' potentially exposes the kernel memory layout, if you don't really need the address please consider using '%p'.
#21: FILE: net/ipv4/af_inet.c:142:
+		pr_err("Attempt to release TCP socket in state %d %px\n",
 		       sk->sk_state, sk);

Thanks,
