Prompted by the recent mails on ksummit, let's actually try to make this
work this time.  We need a container for manipulating strings easily,
and seq_buf is the closest thing we have to it.  The only problem I have
with it is the readpos that is only useful for the tracing code today.
So move it from the seq_buf to the tracing code.

We should go further with this patch series, including using seq_buf
within vsprintf, but if we can't get over this hurdle first, I'm not
going to waste my time on this again.

  trace: Move readpos from seq_buf to trace_seq

Thanks Matthew, I'll pull this in and add it to my for-next queue (after
testing)

Actually,

Can you resend it, and Cc: linux-trace-kernel@vger.kernel.org so that it
goes into patchwork.

Thanks!
