Subject: [PATCH] kernel/cpu.c: don't use snprintf() for sysfs attrs

As per the documentation (Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.rst),
snprintf() should not be used for formatting values returned by sysfs.

In these two instances, we know that the string will be <PAGE_SIZE in
length, so just use sprintf().

Issue identified by Coccinelle.
