Do you mind if I use a macro?
Readability are still the same... 

static
int  __set_enter_print_fmt(struct syscall_metadata *entry, char *buf, int len)
{
	int i;
	int pos = 0;

#define BUF_PRINTF(fmt...)						\
do {									\
	pos += snprintf(buf + pos, len > pos ? len - pos : 0, fmt);	\
} while (0)

	BUF_PRINTF("\"");
	for (i = 0; i < entry->nb_args; i++) {
		BUF_PRINTF("%s: 0x%%0%zulx%s", entry->args[i],
				sizeof(unsigned long),
				i == entry->nb_args - 1 ? "\"" : ", ");
	}

	for (i = 0; i < entry->nb_args; i++)
		BUF_PRINTF(", ((unsigned long)(REC->%s))", entry->args[i]);

#under BUF_PRINTF

	/* return the length of print_fmt */
	return pos;
}

I think trace_seq can not help.
__set_enter_print_fmt() is called twice.
We calculate the length at the first time(don't write any thing),
then allocate memory and then really "snprintf" string into the buffer.
