seq_printf should return void. Add a public bool seq_is_full function that can be used to shortcut unnecesary seq_printf/seq_puts calls when the seq buffer is full. Start removing the misuses of the seq_printf/seq_puts return value. Patchset brought forward from an unreplied to set of changes from back in December 2013. https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/12/11/713 Renamed seq_is_buf_full to seq_is_full.
