[ Upstream commit 10c8d69f314d557d94d74ec492575ae6a4f1eb1c ]

If seq_file .next fuction does not change position index, read after
some lseek can generate unexpected output.

In Aug 2018 NeilBrown noticed commit 1f4aace60b0e ("fs/seq_file.c:
simplify seq_file iteration code and interface") "Some ->next functions
do not increment *pos when they return NULL...  Note that such ->next
functions are buggy and should be fixed.  A simple demonstration is

  dd if=/proc/swaps bs=1000 skip=1

Choose any block size larger than the size of /proc/swaps.  This will
always show the whole last line of /proc/swaps"

Described problem is still actual.  If you make lseek into middle of
last output line following read will output end of last line and whole
last line once again.

  $ dd if=/proc/swaps bs=1  # usual output
  Filename				Type		Size	Used	Priority

  $ dd if=/proc/swaps bs=40 skip=1    # last line was generated twice
  dd: /proc/swaps: cannot skip to specified offset
