V4L/DVB (7580): Fix concurrent read from /proc/videocodecs

Observation one: ->write_proc and ->data assignments aren't needed. Removed.
Observation two: codecs lists are unprotected. Patch doesn't fix this.
Observation three:
	/proc/videocodecs printout is done to temporary _global_ buffer which
	is freed in between. Consequently, two users hitting this file can
	screwup each other.

Steps to reproduce:

	modprobe videocodec
	while true; do cat /proc/videocodecs &>/dev/null; done &
	while true; do cat /proc/videocodecs &>/dev/null; done &

The fix is switching to seq_files, this removes code, especially some
line-length "logic".
