[PACKET]: Fix /proc/net/packet crash due to bogus private pointer The seq_open_net patch changed the meaning of seq->private. Unfortunately it missed two spots in AF_PACKET, which still used the old way of dereferencing seq->private, thus causing weird and wonderful crashes when reading /proc/net/packet. This patch fixes them. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
Applied to net-2.6.25, thanks Herbert.
