net: Revert "fib_trie: use seq_file_net rather than seq->private"
This reverts commit 30f38d2f. fib_triestat is surrounded by a big lie: while it claims that it's a seq_file (fib_triestat_seq_open, fib_triestat_seq_show), it isn't: static const struct file_operations fib_triestat_fops = { .owner = THIS_MODULE, .open = fib_triestat_seq_open, .read = seq_read, .llseek = seq_lseek, .release = single_release_net, }; Yes, fib_triestat is just a regular file. A small detail (assuming CONFIG_NET_NS=y) is that while for seq_files you could do seq_file_net() to get the net ptr, doing so for a regular file would be wrong and would dereference an invalid pointer. The fib_triestat lie claimed a victim, and trying to show the file would be bad for the kernel. This patch just reverts the issue and fixes fib_triestat, which still needs a rewrite to either be a seq_file or stop claiming it is.
