Subject: [RFC v2 2/2] procfs: /proc/sched_debug fails on very very large machines.

On systems with 4096 cores attemping to read /proc/sched_debug fails.
We are trying to push all the data into a single kmalloc buffer.
The issue is on these very large machines all the data will not fit in 4mb.

A better solution is to not us the single_open mechanism but to provide
our own seq_operations and treat each cpu as an individual record.

The output should be identical to previous version.
