seq_file: properly cope with pread

Browse Source 
Currently seq_read assumes that the offset passed to it is always the
offset it passed to user space.  In the case pread this assumption is
broken and we do the wrong thing when presented with pread.

To solve this I introduce an offset cache inside of struct seq_file so we
know where our logical file position is.  Then in seq_read if we try to
read from another offset we reset our data structures and attempt to go to
the offset user space wanted.

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: restore FMODE_PWRITE]
[pjt@google.com: seq_open needs its fmode opened up to take advantage of this]
