tracing: Move readpos from seq_buf to trace_seq
To make seq_buf more lightweight as a string buf, move the readpos member from seq_buf to its container, trace_seq. That puts the responsibility of maintaining the readpos entirely in the tracing code. If some future users want to package up the readpos with a seq_buf, we can define a new struct then.
