[PATCH v2 2/2] seq_file: Simplify __seq_puts()

From: Christophe JAILLET
Date: Mon Apr 22 2024 - 06:24:52 EST


Change the implementation of the out-of-line __seq_puts() to simply be
a seq_write() call instead of duplicating the overflow/memcpy logic.

Changes in v2:
- New patch

Now than most (if not all) seq_puts() calls will be turned into a
seq_write() or seq_putc() at compilation time, the added function call in
__seq_puts() should not be noticeable.

It could be even better to just remove this __seq_puts() and call
seq_write(m, s, strlen(s)) directly in seq_puts() if it can't be
optimized at compile time.
