Subject: seq_file: Fix overflow condition in seq_commit

seq_path()/seq_commit() is treating a d_path() failure as an overflow
condition, but it isn't.

seq_read handles overflow by reallocating more buffer. And this
continues in a loop utill we increase the size of seq buf beyond
KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE and hence a WARN_ON.

Pass -ENOBUFS to seq_commit to signal an overflow condition and a
negative value for all other errors.
