[PATCH] tracing: use seq_buf_used() in seq_buf_to_user() instead of len

From: Jerry Snitselaar
Date: Mon Nov 16 2015 - 14:57:44 EST


commit 5ac48378414d ("tracing: Use trace_seq_used() and seq_buf_used()
instead of len") changed the tracing code to use trace_seq_used() and
seq_buf_used() instead of using the seq_buf len directly to avoid
overflow issues, but missed a spot in seq_buf_to_user() that makes use
of s->len.

Cleaned up the code a bit as well per suggestion of Steve Rostedt.
