Subject: [PATCH] procfs: fix numbering in /proc/locks

The lock number in /proc/locks (first field) is implemented by a counter
(private field of struct seq_file) which is incremented at each call of
locks_show(). Currently it is reset each time locks_start() is called,
that is each time we call the read() syscall on /proc/locks. Because of
that, the numbering erratically restarts at 1 several times when reading
a long /proc/locks file.
We want the counter to be initialized at opening time and then never
reset until we close the file. Fortunately, seq_open() memzeros the
seq_file structure, so we can just drop the reset in locks_start() and
move the increment the counter before actually printing the line so the
numbering still starts at 1.
