Insanity avoidance in /proc

Browse source 
The old /proc interfaces were never updated to use loff_t, and are just
generally broken.  Now, we should be using the seq_file interface for
all of the proc files, but converting the legacy functions is more work
than most people care for and has little upside..

But at least we can make the non-LFS rules explicit, rather than just
insanely wrapping the offset or something.
