fs: use seq_open_private() for proc_mounts

Browse source 
A patchset to remove support for passing pre-allocated struct seq_file to
seq_open().  Such feature is undocumented and prone to error.

In particular, if seq_release() is used in release handler, it will
kfree() a pointer which was not allocated by seq_open().

So this patchset drops support for pre-allocated struct seq_file: it's
only of use in proc_namespace.c and can be easily replaced by using
seq_open_private()/seq_release_private().

Additionally, it documents the use of file->private_data to hold pointer
to struct seq_file by seq_open().

This patch (of 3):

Since patch described below, from v2.6.15-rc1, seq_open() could use a
struct seq_file already allocated by the caller if the pointer to the
structure is stored in file->private_data before calling the function.

        [PATCH] allow callers of seq_open do allocation themselves

        Allow caller of seq_open() to kmalloc() seq_file + whatever else they
        want and set ->private_data to it.  seq_open() will then abstain from
        doing allocation itself.

Such behavior is only used by mounts_open_common().

In order to drop support for such uncommon feature, proc_mounts is
converted to use seq_open_private(), which take care of allocating the
proc_mounts structure, making it available through ->private in struct
seq_file.

Conversely, proc_mounts is converted to use seq_release_private(), in
order to release the private structure allocated by seq_open_private().

Then, ->private is used directly instead of proc_mounts() macro to access
to the proc_mounts structure.
