[PATCH] tracing: Have trace_marker break up by lines by size of trace_seq

[Steven Rostedt]

From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

If a trace_marker write is bigger than what trace_seq can hold, then it
will print "LINE TOO BIG" message and not what was written.

Instead, if check if the write is bigger than the trace_seq and break it
up by that size.

Ideally, we could make the trace_seq dynamic that could hold this. But
that's for another time.
