Christoph Hellwig April 25, 2018, 3:47 p.m. UTC
Variants of proc_create{,_data} that directly take a struct seq_operations
argument and drastically reduces the boilerplate code in the callers.

All trivial callers converted over.

Please add documentation comments to exported functions when you add them.

None of the base functions are document, and we really want people to not
use procfs for new code anyway.  But if I get some consensus from the
maintainers and the list I can throw in another patch to document
all proc_create* variants.
