Yes.  The way the original lockdep_proc.c code was doing its pointers
around its seq data was definitely wrong, regardless of the output
outside of _show().

Isn't this is going to make l_start/l_next() approach O(n^2) when they can
be more like O(n)?  It appears to be the case that _next() will always
get a valid *v, so you can just step immediately to the next element.
The _start() seems to be the only place where you'd actually need to
search based on *pos.

The below moves the headers out of the _start() functions, but by using
SEQ_START_TOKEN (as appears to be the trend in other seq_file users)
to differentiate.  This means *pos==0 then is the header and *pos==1..n
are the lock class elements 0..(n-1), which again appears to be what
others are doing.

================================================================

Both /proc/lockdep and /proc/lock_stat output may loop infinitely.

When a read() requests an amount of data smaller than the amount of data
that the seq_file's foo_show() outputs, the output starts looping and
outputs the "stuck" element's data infinitely.  There may be multiple
sequential calls to foo_start(), foo_next()/foo_show(), and foo_stop()
for a single open with sequential read of the file.  The _start() does not
have to start with the 0th element and _show() might be called multiple
times in a row for the same element for a given open/read of the seq_file.

Also header output should not be happening in _start().  All output should
be in _show(), which SEQ_START_TOKEN is meant to help.  Having output in
_start() may also negatively impact seq_file's seq_read() and traverse()
accounting.

Compared to my previous version this now also has output only happening
in _show().  Compared to Peter's version with output only in _show(),
this is more efficient in its _next().
