[PATCH 2/2] seq_buf: Make trace_seq_putmem_hex() support data longer than 8

[Yun Zhou]

At present, trace_seq_putmem_hex() can only support data with length
of 8 or less, which greatly limits its application scope. If we want to
dump longer data blocks, we need to repeatedly call macro SEQ_PUT_HEX_FIELD.
I think it is a bit redundant, and multiple function calls also affect
the performance.

This patch is to perfect the commit 6d2289f3faa7 ("tracing: Make
trace_seq_putmem_hex() more robust").
