[PATCH -tip 1/2] ftrace: Make saved_cmdlines use seq_read

[Yoshihiro YUNOMAE]

Current tracing_saved_cmdlines_read() implementation is naive;
simply allocate a big buffer, construct output data on the
buffer for each read operation, and then copy a portion of
the buffer to the user space buffer.  This can cause a couple of
issues such as a slow memory allocation, high cpu usage, and a
corruption of the output data.

To address these issues, make saved_cmdlines use seq_read.
