Output defects can exist in sysfs content using sprintf and snprintf.

sprintf does not know the PAGE_SIZE maximum of the temporary buffer
used for outputting sysfs content and it's possible to overrun the
PAGE_SIZE buffer length.

Use a generic sysfs_emit function that knows that the size of the
temporary buffer and ensures that no overrun is done for dio
attribute.
