Nothing is using it yet, but this will allow us to delay the open-time
checks to use time, without breaking the normal UNIX permission
semantics where permissions are determined by the opener (and the file
descriptor can then be passed to a different process, or the process can
drop capabilities).

<title>ftrace: Move ftrace_filter_lseek out of CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE section</title>

As ftrace_filter_lseek is now used with ftrace_pid_fops, it needs to
be moved out of the #ifdef CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE section as the
ftrace_pid_fops is defined when DYNAMIC_FTRACE is not.

Currently set_ftrace_pid and set_graph_function files use seq_lseek
for their fops.  However seq_open() is called only for FMODE_READ in
the fops-&gt;open() so that if an user tries to seek one of those file
when she open it for writing, it sees NULL seq_file and then panic.

It can be easily reproduced with following command:

  $ cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
  $ echo 1234 | sudo tee -a set_ftrace_pid

In this example, GNU coreutils' tee opens the file with fopen(, "a")
and then the fopen() internally calls lseek().

On the failure path, stat-&gt;start and stat-&gt;pages will refer same page.
So it'll attempt to free the same page again and get kernel panic.
