Hi all,
Older smackfs was parsing MAC rules by characters, thus a need of
locking write sessions on open() was needed. This lock is no longer
useful now since each rule is handled by a single write() call.
This is also a bugfix since seq_open() was not called if an open()
O_RDWR flag was given, leading to a seq_read() without an initialized
seq_file, thus an Oops.
