This is the same file touched as
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260915081910.4142719-28-morbo@xxxxxxxxxx/
and doing the same thing, roughly? I think it'd be best to combine
these, especially since one depends on the other's addition of seq_buf.h

As with the others, DECLARE_SEQ_BUF should be used.

While this is the correct length, it does illustrate why I think we need
a new seq_buf helper to get the strlen result detected from NUL
termination like seq_buf_str().
