seq_file: fix mishandling of consecutive pread() invocations.

The following program illustrates the problem:

    char buf[8192];

    int fd = open("/proc/self/maps", O_RDONLY);

    n = pread(fd, buf, sizeof(buf), 0);
    printf("%d\n", n);

    /* lseek(fd, 0, SEEK_CUR); */ /* Uncomment to work around */

    n = pread(fd, buf, sizeof(buf), 0);
    printf("%d\n", n);

The second printf() prints zero, but uncommenting the lseek() corrects its
behaviour.

To fix, make seq_read() mirror seq_lseek() when processing changes in
*ppos.  Restore m->version first, then if required traverse and update
read_pos on success.
