From: Pan Xinhui <[email protected]>
There are many nodes in the PAT memtype rb-tree. When we dump this tree
we call kzalloc every time to copy nodes. Actually these kzalloc are not
necessary. Lets do a optimization now.
Let seq_file core create an *entry* when open and free it when release.
*entry* is stored as seq->private, so we can use it in seq_operations
callback who traverse/output the PAT memtype rb-tree only. Lots of
unnecessary kzalloc could be avoided now.

v1 -> v2:
Use seq_open/release_private. let seq_file core handle memory alloc/free.
seq_operations callbacks now only traverse/output the PAT rb-tree.
