Consolidate the actual output of the formatted text into one place.
Fix a couple of edge cases:
1. If 0 is printed with a precision of 0, the printf specification says
that nothing should be output, with one exception (2b).
2. The specification for octal alternate format (%#o) adds the leading
zero not as a prefix as the 0x for hexadecimal is, but by increasing
the precision if necessary to add the zero. This means that
a. %#.2o turns 8 into "010", but 1 into "01" rather than "001".
b. %#.o prints 0 as "0" rather than "", unlike the situation for
decimal, hexadecimal and regular octal format, which all output an
empty string.
Reduce the space allocated for printing a number to the maximum actually
required (22 bytes for a 64-bit number in octal), instead of the 66
bytes previously allocated.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
