[PATCH v2] seq_file: fix clang warning for NULL pointer arithmetic

[Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxxxx>]

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx>

Clang points out that adding something to NULL is notallowed
in standard C:

fs/kernfs/file.c:127:15: warning: performing pointer arithmetic on a
null pointer has undefined behavior [-Wnull-pointer-arithmetic]
                return NULL + !*ppos;
                       ~~~~ ^
fs/seq_file.c:529:14: warning: performing pointer arithmetic on a
null pointer has undefined behavior [-Wnull-pointer-arithmetic]
        return NULL + (*pos == 0);

Rephrase the code to be extra explicit about the valid, giving
them named SEQ_OPEN_EOF and SEQ_OPEN_SINGLE definitions.
The instance in kernfs was copied from single_start, so fix both
at once.

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
Fixes: c2b19daf6760 ("sysfs, kernfs: prepare read path for kernfs")

v2: add the named macros after Christoph Hellwig pointed out
that my original logic was too ugly.
Suggestions for better names welcome
