[PATCH rcu 02/14] refscale: Optimize process_durations()

[neeraj . upadhyay]

From: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@xxxxxxxxxx>

process_durations() is not a hot path, but there is no good reason to
iterate over and over the data already in 'buf'.

Using a seq_buf saves some useless strcat() and the need of a temp buffer.
Data is written directly at the correct place.
