[ Upstream commit a74f038fa50e0d33b740f44f862fe856f16de6a8 ]
The pt_dump_seq_puts() macro incorrectly uses seq_printf() instead of seq_puts(). This is both a performance issue and conceptually wrong, as the macro name suggests plain string output (puts) but the implementation uses formatted output (printf).
The macro is used in ptdump.c:301 to output a newline character. Using seq_printf() adds unnecessary overhead for format string parsing when outputting this constant string.
This bug was introduced in commit 59c4da8640cc ("riscv: Add support to dump the kernel page tables") in 2020, which copied the implementation pattern from other architectures that had the same bug.
