riscv: ptdump: use seq_puts() in pt_dump_seq_puts() macro
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 59c4da8 ("riscv: Add support to
dump the kernel page tables") in 2020, which copied the implementation
pattern from other architectures that had the same bug.
