sysfs read path implements its own buffering scheme between userland and kernel callbacks, which essentially is a degenerate duplicate of seq_file. This patch replaces the custom read buffering implementation in sysfs with seq_file. While the amount of code reduction is small, this reduces low level hairiness and enables future development of a new versatile API based on seq_file so that sysfs features can be shared with other subsystems. As write path was already converted to not use sysfs_open_file->page, this patch makes ->page and ->count unused and removes them. Userland behavior remains the same except for some extreme corner cases - e.g. sysfs will now regenerate the content each time a file is read after a non-contiguous seek whereas the original code would keep using the same content. While this is a userland visible behavior change, it is extremely unlikely to be noticeable and brings sysfs behavior closer to that of procfs.
