We don't know what type the architecture uses to implement u64.  This will
warn on powerpc, sparc64, maybe others.

That's not really needed.  Just call cft->read_map unconditionally.  if
it's zero we'll get a null-pointer deref which will have just the same
effect as a BUG.

afaict you can just move the definition of cgroup_seqfile_operations here
and avoid the forward decl.

But above a NULL value is illegal.  Why are we testing it here?
