seq_printf() is costy, when reading /proc/net/dev, profiling indicates
about 13% samples of seq_printf():
	dev_seq_show(98.350% 428046/435229)
	    dev_seq_printf_stats(99.777% 427092/428046)
		dev_get_stats(86.121% 367814/427092)
		    rtl8169_get_stats64(98.519% 362365/367814)
		    dev_fetch_sw_netstats(0.554% 2038/367814)
		    loopback_get_stats64(0.250% 919/367814)
		    dev_get_tstats64(0.077% 284/367814)
		    netdev_stats_to_stats64(0.051% 189/367814)
		    _find_next_bit(0.029% 106/367814)
		seq_printf(13.719% 58594/427092)
And on a system with one wireless interface, timing for 1 million rounds of
stress reading /proc/net/dev:
	real	0m51.828s
	user	0m0.225s
	sys	0m51.671s
On average, reading /proc/net/dev takes ~0.051ms

With this patch, extra costs parsing format string by seq_printf() can be
optimized out, and the timing for 1 million rounds of read is:
	real	0m49.127s
	user	0m0.295s
	sys	0m48.552s
On average, ~0.048ms reading /proc/net/dev, a ~6% improvement.

Even though dev_get_stats() takes up the majority of the reading process,
the improvement is still significant;
And the improvement may vary with the physical interface on the system.
