Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt:
 "Fix synthetic event "strcat" overrun

  New synthetic event code used strcat() and miscalculated the ending,
  causing the concatenation to write beyond the allocated memory.

  Instead of using strncat(), the code is switched over to seq_buf which
  has all the mechanisms in place to protect against writing more than
  what is allocated, and cleans up the code a bit"
