[PATCH 1/2] seq_buf: fix overflow when length is bigger than 8

[Yun Zhou]

There's two variables being increased in that loop (i and j), and i
follows the raw data, and j follows what is being written into the buffer.
We should compare 'i' to MAX_MEMHEX_BYTES or compare 'j' to HEX_CHARS.
Otherwise, if 'j' goes bigger than HEX_CHARS, it will overflow the
destination buffer.

This bug was introduced by commit 6d2289f3faa71dcc ("tracing: Make
trace_seq_putmem_hex() more robust")
