Subject: [PATCH RESUBMIT 1/2] fs/seq_file: Create new function seq_open_init()

Add a new function to help reduce boilerplate code.

This is a wrapper function for seq_open() that will simplify the code in a
significant number of cases where seq_open() is currently called.

It's first use is in __seq_open_private(), thereby recovering most of
the code space used by the new function.
