procfs: Clean up huge if-statement in __proc_file_read()

Browse Source 
Switch huge if-statement in __proc_file_read() around.  This then puts the
single line loop break immediately after the if-statement and allows us to
de-indent the huge comment and make it take fewer lines.  The code following
the if-statement then follows naturally from the call to dp->read_proc().

* How to be a proc read function

* int count, int *peof, void *dat)
*
* Assume that the buffer is "count" bytes in size.
*
* If you know you have supplied all the data you
* have, set *peof.
*
* You have three ways to return data:
* 0) Leave *start = NULL. (This is the default.)
* Put the data of the requested offset at that
* offset within the buffer. Return the number (n)
* of bytes there are from the beginning of the
* buffer up to the last byte of data. If the
* number of supplied bytes (= n - offset) is
* greater than zero and you didn't signal eof
* and the reader is prepared to take more data
* you will be called again with the requested
* offset advanced by the number of bytes
* absorbed. This interface is useful for files
* no larger than the buffer.
* 1) Set *start = an unsigned long value less than
* the buffer address but greater than zero.
* Put the data of the requested offset at the
* beginning of the buffer. Return the number of
* bytes of data placed there. If this number is
* greater than zero and you didn't signal eof
* and the reader is prepared to take more data
* you will be called again with the requested
* offset advanced by *start. This interface is
* useful when you have a large file consisting
* of a series of blocks which you want to count
* and return as wholes.
* (Hack by Paul.Russell@rustcorp.com.au)
* 2) Set *start = an address within the buffer.
* Put the data of the requested offset at *start.
* Return the number of bytes of data placed there.
* If this number is greater than zero and you
* didn't signal eof and the reader is prepared to
* take more data you will be called again with the
* requested offset advanced by the number of bytes
* absorbed.
