[PATCH] octeontx2-af: use seq_file for rsrc_alloc debugfs

From: Heyang Tan

Date: Sun Sep 06 2026 - 10:14:12 EST


The rsrc_status debugfs reader writes rows directly to userspace without
respecting the caller's read count. It also uses the current row length as
the userspace stride, which can corrupt output when rows have different
widths.

Build each row in the existing kernel buffer and use seq_file to handle
userspace buffer sizes, offsets, and partial reads.
