[PATCH 2/2] sysfs/kernfs: make read requests on pre-alloc files use the buffer.

[NeilBrown]

To match the previous patch which used the pre-alloc buffer for
writes, this patch causes reads to use the same buffer.
This is not strictly necessary as the current seq_read() will allocate
on first read, so user-space can trigger the required pre-alloc.  But
consistency is valuable.

The read function is somewhat simpler than seq_read() and, for example,
does not support reading from an offset into the file: reads must be
at the start of the file.

As the buffer is shared with writes and other reads, the mutex is
extended to cover the copy_to_user.
