Subject: [PATCH 1/3] seq_file: Introduce seq_setwidth() and seq_pad()

From: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@...ove.SAKURA.ne.jp>

There are several users who want to know bytes written by seq_*() for alignment
purpose. Currently they are using %n format for knowing it because seq_*()
returns 0 on success.

This patch introduces seq_setwidth() and seq_pad() for allowing them to align
without using %n format.
