Documentation: update seq_file 

Update descriptions of seq_path() and seq_path_root():
starting with commit v3.2-rc4-1-g02125a8, seq_path_root() no longer
changes the value of root;
starting with commit v3.2-rc7-104-g8c9379e, some arguments of seq_path()
and seq_path_root() are const.

There are also a pair of functions for printing filenames:
int seq_path(struct seq_file *m, struct path *path, char *esc);
int seq_path_root(struct seq_file *m, struct path *path,
struct path *root, char *esc)
int seq_path(struct seq_file *m, const struct path *path,
const char *esc);
int seq_path_root(struct seq_file *m, const struct path *path,
const struct path *root, const char *esc)
Here, path indicates the file of interest, and esc is a set of characters
which should be escaped in the output. A call to seq_path() will output
the path relative to the current process's filesystem root. If a different
root is desired, it can be used with seq_path_root(). Note that, if it
turns out that path cannot be reached from root, the value of root will be
changed in seq_file_root() to a root which *does* work.
root is desired, it can be used with seq_path_root(). If it turns out that
path cannot be reached from root, seq_path_root() returns SEQ_SKIP.
A function producing complicated output may want to check
bool seq_has_overflowed(struct seq_file *m);
