From fddda2b7b521185f3aa018f9559eb33b0aee53a9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
Date: Fri, 13 Apr 2018 19:44:18 +0200
Subject: [PATCH] proc: introduce proc_create_seq{,_data}

Variants of proc_create{,_data} that directly take a struct seq_operations
argument and drastically reduces the boilerplate code in the callers.

All trivial callers converted over.
