Reading zero bytes from /proc/net/udp or other similar files which use
the same seq_file udp infrastructure panics kernel in that way:

[ BUG: bad unlock balance detected! ]
-------------------------------------
read/1985 is trying to release lock (&table->hash[i].lock) at:
[<
ffffffff81321d83>] udp_seq_stop+0x27/0x29
but there are no more locks to release!
other info that might help us debug this:
1 lock held by read/1985:
