Two strings which did not contain a data format specification should be put
into a sequence. Thus use the corresponding function “seq_puts”.
This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

The two calls are almost certainly absolutely equivalent.
So this is probably just a minor performance improvement in a code
path where it really doesn't matter.

That code looks highly suspect!
It uses a bounded scan then assumes a '\0' terminated string.
It then adds 2 to a potentially NULL pointer.
About typical for 'security' code :-)

The code here is used for displaying the IMA measurement list, that
the kernel itself created. Protecting the in kernel memory from
attack is a different problem. Refer to Igor Stoppa's write once
memory pools.
