From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> commit 0736c033a81547b1cdc5120fc8dd60e26a00fd28 upstream. 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.
