I don't think we should. We have overriden the llseek for
the procfs users located in the proc core (just fs/proc)
but we haven't touched all of the external users, and since
there are hundreds of them, I guess a lot don't implement
llseek.

We would need to first override those that are visible upstream
and warn for the further ones after this step only.
