Subject: [RFC][PATCH 06/12 v3] tracing: Add a seq_buf_clear() helper and clear len and readpos in init

From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" <[email protected]>

Add a helper function seq_buf_clear() that resets the len and readpos
fields of a seq_buf. Currently it is only used in the seq_buf_init()
but will be used later when updating the seq_file code.
