[PATCH v2 1/1] trace: Move readpos from seq_buf to trace_seq

[Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)]

To make seq_buf more lightweight as a string buf, move the readpos member
from seq_buf to its container, trace_seq.  That puts the responsibility
of maintaining the readpos entirely in the tracing code.  If some future
users want to package up the readpos with a seq_buf, we can define a
new struct then.
