remove_proc_entry() waits until every call into the entry has returned.
For a seq_file entry that's all of seq_read_iter(), including the copy
to userspace. A page fault in that copy can be made to take as long as
the reader wants, e.g. with userfaultfd or by punching holes into a
memfd over and over. And callers of remove_proc_entry() like to hold
locks while they wait. xt_hashlimit holds hashlimit_mutex, which all
network namespaces share, and addrconf holds RTNL.

But the entry's code only runs between ->start() and ->stop() and the
copies to userspace happen outside of that. So let procfs own the
seq_file the way kernfs does. An entry declares its seq_operations, or
just a show function, and the size of its private state in struct
proc_ops. procfs then opens the seq_file with seq_operations it builds
for the entry when it is registered: the entry's own ->next() and
->show() with a ->start() and ->stop() of procfs around them that pin
the entry and unpin it again. Nothing of procfs runs between the
records that way. procfs reads and seeks through seq_file directly. The
copies to userspace happen with the entry unpinned.

That changes who owns the seq_file. remove_proc_entry() can now finish
while a reader is still copying out of the buffer, so the seq_file
can't go away with the entry. procfs frees it once the file is
released. ->proc_open() finds the seq_file in ->private_data and sets
up whatever the entry needs and ->proc_release() releases just that. It
still runs when the entry is removed, or when the file is closed before
that.

Since procfs reads these entries through seq_read_iter() itself they
all have ->splice_read() now, so sendfile(), splice(), aio, the RWF
flags and kernel_read() work on them, and readv() is one read instead
of one per segment. Note that a removed entry still hands out what it
had already formatted and then answers -EIO to reads, and to seeks that
have to walk the records. Seeking it failed with -EINVAL right away
before.

For an entry that only has a show function the seq_operations do what
single_open() does, like kernfs_seq_start(). If the entry can't be
pinned ->start() fails with -EIO and switches the seq_file to
seq_operations whose ->stop() doesn't unpin, so the entry's own
->start() and ->next() can return any error they like. An entry that
declares a seq_file and also a read or seek method of its own, or one
that releases the seq_file with seq_release() itself, doesn't make
sense, procfs reads, seeks and releases the seq_file itself, so
registering it fails.
