tracing: Use trace_seq_used() and seq_buf_used() instead of len
As the seq_buf->len will soon be +1 size when there's an overflow, we must use trace_seq_used() or seq_buf_used() methods to get the real length. This will prevent buffer overflow issues if just the len of the seq_buf descriptor is used to copy memory.
