The trace_seq_printf() and friends are used to store strings into a buffer
that can be passed around from function to function. If the trace_seq buffer
fills up, it will not print any more. The return values were somewhat
inconsistant and using trace_seq_has_overflowed() was a better way to know
if the write to the trace_seq buffer succeeded or not.

Now that all users have removed reading the return value of the printf()
type functions, they can safely return void and keep future users of them
from reading the inconsistent values as well.

In trace_seq_bitmask() it calls bitmap_scnprintf() not from the current
position of the trace_seq buffer (s->buffer + s->len), but instead from
the beginning of the buffer (s->buffer).

Luckily, the only user of this "ipi_raise tracepoint" uses it as the
first parameter, and as such, the start of the temp buffer in
include/trace/ftrace.h (see __get_bitmask()).

trace_seq_reserve() has no users in the kernel, it just wastes space.
Remove it.

Currently trace_seq_putmem_hex() can only take as a parameter a pointer
to something that is 8 bytes or less, otherwise it will overflow the
buffer. This is protected by a macro that encompasses the call to
trace_seq_putmem_hex() that has a BUILD_BUG_ON() for the variable before
it is passed in. This is not very robust and if trace_seq_putmem_hex() ever
gets used outside that macro it will cause issues.

Instead of only being able to produce a hex output of memory that is for
a single word, change it to be more robust and allow any size input.

For using trace_seq_*() functions in NMI context, I posted a patch to move
it to the lib/ directory. This caused Andrew Morton to take a look at the code.
He went through and gave a lot of comments about missing kernel doc,
inconsistent types for the save variable, mix match of EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL()
and EXPORT_SYMBOL() as well as missing EXPORT_SYMBOL*()s. There were
a few comments about the way variables were being compared (int vs uint).

All these were good review comments and should be implemented regardless of
if trace_seq.c should be moved to lib/ or not.

The trace_seq_*() functions are a nice utility that allows users to manipulate
buffers with printf() like formats. It has its own trace_seq.h header in
include/linux and should be in its own file. Being tied with trace_output.c
is rather awkward.
