This is not strictly necessary, nonseekable_open bypasses f_op->llseek
due to this code in vfs_llseek:

        fn = no_llseek;
        if (file->f_mode & FMODE_LSEEK) {
                if (file->f_op->llseek)
                        fn = file->f_op->llseek;
        }
        return fn(file, offset, whence);

But it's a good thing to do anyway, so I'm applying it.
