tracing: Do not (ab)use trace_seq in event_id_read()
event_id_read() has no reason to kmalloc "struct trace_seq" (more than PAGE_SIZE!), it can use a small buffer instead. Note: "if (*ppos) return 0" looks strange and even wrong, simple_read_from_buffer() handles ppos != 0 case corrrectly. And it seems that almost every user of trace_seq in this file should be converted too. Unless you use seq_open(), trace_seq buys nothing compared to the raw buffer, but it needs a bit more memory and code.
