Subject: [PATCH] procfs : Move some extern declaration from fs/proc/proc_misc.c
 to include/linux/seq_file.h

Some 'extern struct seq_operations' are wrongly defined in fs/proc/proc_misc.c 
(they miss a const qualifier)

In order to fix this correctly, move the "extern ... " declaration from .c 
file to an appropriate include file, as advised by checkpatch.pl

Note : "extern struct seq_operations cpuinfo_op;" will be taken into account
in a separate patch, since its const status is arch dependant.
