Currently, map_seq_show_elem callback is only implemented
for arraymap. So the problem actually is not exposed.

The issue is discovered when I tried to implement
map_seq_show_elem for hash maps, and I will have followup
patches for it.

So this patch probably should apply to bpf-next or
I can include this patch in my later patch set
which implements map_seq_show_elem for hash map
which can demonstrate the problem.

Please let me know.
