Is this necessary? It doesn't seem so.

This one seems an unlikely candidate to backport as
it effectively doesn't do anything but prepare for
seq_printf return value removal.

Is that removal going to be backported too or is this
being patched to avoid some other backported patch's
desire to be applied without offsets?
