[PATCH 0/2] fs, proc: optimize smaps output formatting

Hi,
this is rebased on top of next-20160818. Joe has pointed out that
meminfo is using a similar trick so I have extracted guts of what we
have already and made it more generic to be usable for smaps as well
(patch 1). The second patch then replaces seq_printf with seq_write
and show_val_kb which should have smaller overhead and my measuring (in
kvm) shows quite a nice improvements. I hope kvm is not playing tricks
on me but I didn't get to test on a real HW.

Michal Hocko (2):
proc, meminfo: abstract show_val_kb
proc, smaps: reduce printing overhead
