Update descriptions of seq_path() and seq_path_root():
starting with commit v3.2-rc4-1-g02125a8, seq_path_root() no longer
changes the value of root;
starting with commit v3.2-rc7-104-g8c9379e, some arguments of seq_path()
and seq_path_root() are const.

The return values of seq_printf/puts/putc are frequently misused.
Start down a path to remove all the return value uses of these
functions.
Move the seq_overflow() to a global inlined function called
seq_has_overflowed() that can be used by the users of seq_file() calls.
Update the documentation to not show return types for seq_printf
et al. Add a description of seq_has_overflowed().

Despite the fact that these functions have been around for years, they
are little used (only 15 uses in 13 files at the preseht time) even
though many other files use work-arounds to achieve the same result.
By documenting them, hopefully they will become more widely used.

Linked article in seq_file.txt still uses create_proc_entry which was
removed in commit 80e928f7eb ("proc: Kill create_proc_entry()").
This patch adds information for kernel 3.10 and above

Using create_proc_entry() + ->proc_fops assignment is racy because
->proc_fops will be NULL for some time, use proc_create() to avoid race.

A couple of typos crept into the newly added document about the seq_file
interface. This patch corrects those typos and simultaneously deletes
unnecessary trailing spaces.
