The script to change <foo>_show(struct device *, ...)
function uses of
sprintf to sysfs_emit is attached.

The cocci script is coarse and doesn't find nor change all
the possible variants of the sprintf uses in these functions.

It could be run using:

$ spatch --in-place -sp-file sysfs_emit.cocci drivers/infiniband/

Against next-20201007 it produces:

$ git diff --shortstat drivers/infiniband
 25 files changed, 322 insertions(+), 303 deletions(-)

Because it touches a lot of drivers, the 'cc' list is
pretty large for the diff.

Given the size of the cc list, unless there's a single
acceptable patch, I will not submit individual patches as
I really dislike the back and forth of this sub-maintainer
will but this sub-maintainer will not apply a patch.
