ieee1394: mark char device files as not seekable



The
  - raw1394   (/dev/raw1394),
  - video1394 (/dev/video1394/*),
  - dv1394    (/dev/dv1394/*)
character device file ABIs do not make any use of lseek(), pread(), or
pwrite().  Therefore use nonseekable_open() and, redundantly, set
file_operations.llseek to no_llseek to remove any doubt whether the BKL-
grabbing default_llseek handler is used.

Although all this is legacy code which should be left in peace until it
is eventually removed (as it is superseded by firewire-core's
<linux/firewire-cdev.h> ABI), this change seems still worth doing to
further minimize the presence of BKL usage in the kernel.
