go/analysis/passes/printf: fix false negative with nested pointers

Pointers to compound objects (structs, slices, arrays, maps) are only
followed by fmt if the pointer is at the top level of an argument. This
is to minimise the chances of fmt running into loops.

However, vet did not follow this rule. It likely doesn't help that fmt
does not document that restriction well, which is being tracked in
 #28625.

This change was originally made to cmd/vet as
https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/147997.

Updates #27672.
