OK. Filename and function name are different as of 4.9. Updated patch for 4.9-stable is attached below.

commit 988a35f8da1dec5a8cd2788054d1e717be61bf25 upstream.
I noticed that there is a possibility that printk_safe_log_store() causes kernel oops because "args" parameter is passed to vsnprintf() again when atomic_cmpxchg() detected that we raced. Fix this by using va_copy().
