[PATCH] 2.4.20: lib/vsprintf.c: Fix vsscanf of hex digits

[Kevin Corry]

Hi,

The current vsscanf() in 2.4 does not correctly scan hex digits that begin 
with a-f. (It does work correctly for hex digits that begin with 0-9). This 
patch fixes that bug, and is based on the fix that was added to 2.5.
