Subject: [PATCH 04/10] proc: fix PAGE_SIZE limit of /proc/$PID/cmdline

Convert /proc/$PID/cmdline to seq_file interface.

XXX

This one must be buggy.

seq_file buffer is adjustable, so userspace can execute itself
with huge command line (which can be arbitrarily long now), then read 1 byte.

Voila, whole command line now is in kmalloced/vmalloced memory.

Imposing limit is trivial but equally lame to current PAGE_SIZE limit.
