In 2.6.25 some /proc files were converted to use the seq_file
infrastructure.  But seq_files do not correctly support pread(), which
broke some usersapce applications.

To handle pread correctly we can't assume that f_pos is where we left it
in seq_read.  So move traverse() so that we can eventually use it in
seq_read and do thus some day support pread().
