Subject: [PATCH 10/15] block: fix partial read() of /proc/{partitions,diskstats}

From: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@...y.org>

The proc files get truncated if they do not fit into the buffer with
a single read(). We need to move the seq_file index from the callback
of class_find_device() to the caller of class_find_device(), to keep
its value across multiple invocations of the callback.
