procfs: add num_to_str() to speed up /proc/stat
== stat_check.py
num = 0
with open("/proc/stat") as f:
while num < 1000 :
data = f.read()
f.seek(0, 0)
num = num + 1

perf shows
20.39% stat_check.py [kernel.kallsyms] [k] format_decode
13.41% stat_check.py [kernel.kallsyms] [k] number
12.61% stat_check.py [kernel.kallsyms] [k] vsnprintf
10.85% stat_check.py [kernel.kallsyms] [k] memcpy
4.85% stat_check.py [kernel.kallsyms] [k] radix_tree_lookup
4.43% stat_check.py [kernel.kallsyms] [k] seq_printf
This patch removes most of calls to vsnprintf() by adding num_to_str()
and seq_print_decimal_ull(), which prints decimal numbers without rich
functions provided by printf().
On my 8cpu box.

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: remove incorrect comment, use less statck in num_to_str(), move comment from .h to .c, simplify seq_put_decimal_ull()]
[andrea@betterlinux.com: avoid breaking the ABI in /proc/stat]
