In order to check if the cred of current have changed between ->open()
and ->read(), we must able to access the file's opener cred
'file->f_cred' at any point.
To make this possible for /proc/*/{stack,personality,stat} pass the
'file struct' as a 3rd argument to single_open() so it will be stored in
seq_file->private in seq_open(). This way these entries are able to
continue to use seq files, and access the file->f_cred easily.
This is also a preparation for the following patches which will check
the corresponding file->f_cred.
