When reading the files I'm getting dmesg errors like this:

[   37.998152] seq_file: buggy .next function slab_debugfs_next did not update
position index

Don't recall this from previous versions?

You should remove this one, you already do the release when queueing the work
below. This is not like sysfs where we distinguish _unlink() when queueing and
_release when processing the work.

Ooops, this can't be a global variable, especially when shared without any lock
protection - but even with a protection it would be very suboptimal. You'll need
to make it a seq_file private, see e.g. here for an example:
