Subject: [PATCH RESUBMIT] fs/proc/task_mmu: use __seq_open_private()

Reduce boilerplate code by using __seq_open_private() instead of seq_open().

This function has been around, undocumented, for years. It can simplify
the set up code for seq file operations.

This patch was originally submitted on 12th September as part 2/2.
