I considered this. While it probably wouldn't bring any extra overhead
as the function is going to be inlined anyway, it didn't look really
nice. I gues I'll use read_pnet() as David suggested; I just didn't
realize the reason it's a macro in !CONFIG_NET_NS case is to allow
passing a pointer to non-existent struct member.

Not only seq_file_net(). The whole infrastructure assumes private data
start with an instance of struct seq_net_private and seq_open_net()
initializes it.
