[PATCH] seq_file: Remove pointless assignment in seq_read()

[Jan Kara]

The value assigned to 'err' in seq_read() is overwritten by the result
of copy_to_user(). This is correct because we know we have succeeded to
generate at least one entry into user buffer so the error we got when
generating further entries is irrelevant. Just remove the assignment.
