Bruno Meneguele 8ece3b3eb5 kernel/printk: add kmsg SEEK_CUR handling 
Userspace libraries, e.g. glibc's dprintf(), perform a SEEK_CUR operation
over any file descriptor requested to make sure the current position isn't
pointing to junk due to previous manipulation of that same fd. And whenever
that fd doesn't have support for such operation, the userspace code expects
-ESPIPE to be returned.

However, when the fd in question references the /dev/kmsg interface, the
current kernel code state returns -EINVAL instead, causing an unexpected
behavior in userspace: in the case of glibc, when -ESPIPE is returned it
gets ignored and the call completes successfully, while returning -EINVAL
forces dprintf to fail without performing any action over that fd:

  if (_IO_SEEKOFF (fp, (off64_t)0, _IO_seek_cur, _IOS_INPUT|_IOS_OUTPUT) ==
  _IO_pos_BAD && errno != ESPIPE)
    return NULL;

With this patch we make sure to return the correct value when SEEK_CUR is
requested over kmsg and also add some kernel doc information to formalize
this behavior.
