NAK to this! Seriously, this just gives any random user access to user
defined amount of memory which not accounted, not reclaimable and a
potential consumer of any higher order blocks.

Besides that, at least one show_smap output will always fit inside the
single page and AFAIR (it's been quite a while since I've looked into
seq_file internals) the buffer grows only when the single show doesn't
fit in.

I really do not understand why you insist on code duplication rather
than reuse but if you really insist then just make this (without the
above __seq_open_private_bufsize, re-measure and add the results to the
changelog and repost.
