[PATCH] seq_file: Optimize seq_puts()

[Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Most of seq_puts() usages are done with a string literal. In such cases,
the length of the string car be computed at compile time in order to save
a strlen() call at run-time. seq_write() can then be used instead.

This saves a few cycles.

To have an estimation of how often this optimization triggers:
   $ git grep seq_puts.*\" | wc -l
   3391
