From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@lge.com>

commit 6a76f8c0ab19f215af2a3442870eeb5f0e81998d upstream.

Currently set_ftrace_pid and set_graph_function files use seq_lseek
for their fops. However seq_open() is called only for FMODE_READ in
the fops->open() so that if an user tries to seek one of those file
when she open it for writing, it sees NULL seq_file and then panic.

It can be easily reproduced with following command:

$ cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
$ echo 1234 | sudo tee -a set_ftrace_pid

In this example, GNU coreutils' tee opens the file with fopen(, "a")
and then the fopen() internally calls lseek().
