Subject: [PATCH] perf/x86/amd/core: Use sysfs_emit() in show() callback
function
Using sprintf/snprintf functions are error prone and suggested to be
replaced by scnprintf/vscnrptintf as outlined in this [1] LWN article.
A more recent recommendation is to use sysfs_emit() or sysfs_emit_at()
as per Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.rst in show() callback function
when formatting values to be returned to user-space. These helper
functions are PAGE_SIZE aware and wrap a safer call to vscnprintf().

Issue identified using the coccinelle device_attr_show.cocci script.
