Subject: [PATCH] Rework /proc/locks via seq_files and seq_list helpers (v2)

Currently /proc/locks is shown with a proc_read function, but
its behavior is rather complex as it has to manually handle
current offset and buffer length. On the other hand, files 
that show objects from lists can be easily reimplemented using
the sequential files and the seq_list_XXX() helpers.

This saves (as usually) 16 lines of code and more than 200 from
the .text section.

This patch looks rather ugly, as diff often uses curly braces
as not-changed lines, but I haven't managed to organize the 
code to make diff look better. Except for move the whole proc
related stuff upper/lower in the locks.c file...

Fixed the problem, spotted by J. Bruce Fields, about the fl
variable reuse.
