While fixing `Info-revert-find-node' for bug#9915, I noticed the
following comment in `Info-revert-find-node':

	  ;; note goto-line is no good, we want to measure from point-min
	  (goto-char (point-min))
	  (forward-line wline)

This means that `goto-line' should be fixed even for non-interactive use
in Info.
