4.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>

commit cf5eebae2cd28d37581507668605f4d23cd7218d upstream.

When resetting iterator on a zero offset we need to discard any data
already in the buffer (count), and private state of the iterator (version).

For example this bug results in first line being repeated in /proc/mounts
if doing a zero size read before a non-zero size read.
