seq_file: move traverse so it can be used from seq_read
In 2.6.25 some /proc files were converted to use the seq_file
infrastructure. But seq_files do not correctly support pread(), which
broke some usersapce applications.
To handle pread correctly we can't assume that f_pos is where we left it
in seq_read. So move traverse() so that we can eventually use it in
seq_read and do thus some day support pread().
