[merged mm-nonmm-stable] proc-test-lseek-on-proc-net-dev.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: proc: test lseek on /proc/net/dev
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     proc-test-lseek-on-proc-net-dev.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-nonmm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

This line in tools/testing/selftests/proc/read.c was added to catch
oopses, not to verify lseek correctness:

        (void)lseek(fd, 0, SEEK_SET);

Oh, well. Prevent more embarassement with simple test.
