Vasily Averin f72a51eab2 selinux: sel_avc_get_stat_idx should increase position index
[ Upstream commit 8d269a8e2a ]

If seq_file .next function does not change position index,
read after some lseek can generate unexpected output.

$ dd if=/sys/fs/selinux/avc/cache_stats # usual output

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
