Subject: [PATCH 3.12 107/142] seq_file: always clear m->count when we free m->buf

From: Al Viro <viro@...IV.linux.org.uk>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit 801a76050bcf8d4e500eb8d048ff6265f37a61c8 upstream.

Once we'd freed m->buf, m->count should become zero - we have no valid
contents reachable via m->buf.
