needs to use sysfs_emit(), cpumap_print_to_pagebuf is removed in 7.3-rc

it could be simplified to init the ->on_cpu in the hotplug handler without
holding the cpu hotplug lock like below:

iommu_pmu->on_cpu = -1;
ret = cpuhp_state_add_instance() /* init the ->on_cpu in the hotplug handler */

otherwise looks good to me.
