commit cf5eebae2cd28d37581507668605f4d23cd7218d upstream.
When resetting iterator on a zero offset we need to discard any data
already in the buffer (count), and private state of the iterator (version).
For example this bug results in first line being repeated in /proc/mounts
if doing a zero size read before a non-zero size read.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
