[RFC][PATCH 16/23 v4] tracing: Add a seq_buf_clear() helper and clear len and readpos in init

From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>

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.
