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.
