Tim Pepper 94c61c0aef lockdep: Avoid /proc/lockdep & lock_stat infinite output
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.
