[PATCH 1/2] seq_file: Add __seq_open_private_bufsize for seq file_operation sizes

[Joe Perches <joe@perches.com>]

Specifying an initial output buffer size can reduce the
number of regenerations of the seq_<output> buffers when
the buffer overflows.

Add another version of __seq_open_private that takes an
initial buffer size.
