[PATCH] fs: seq_file - add event counter to simplify poll() support

[Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org>]

Hey Al,
any objections? If not, care to pick that up?

Thanks,
Kay


From: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org>
Subject: fs: seq_file - add event counter to simplify poll() support

Moving the event counter into the dynamically allocated 'struc seq_file'
allows poll() support without the need to allocate its own tracking
structure.

All current users are switched over to use the new counter.
