Alexey Dobriyan f7a5f132b4 proc: faster /proc/*/status
top(1) opens the following files for every PID:

	/proc/*/stat
	/proc/*/statm
	/proc/*/status

This patch switches /proc/*/status away from seq_printf().
The result is 13.5% speedup.

Benchmark is open("/proc/self/status")+read+close 1.000.000 million times.
