If you have encapsulated the access to parser with trace_parser_loaded,
might as well do the same for getting the buffer:

static inline char *trace_parser_buffer(struct trace_parser *parser)
{
	return parser->buffer;
}

I had a funny trick in my patches to instead of incrementing buf here, I
passed in below a:

	ftrace_set_clr_event(buf + !!set, set);

But whatever ;-)

here you are accessing both the buffer and idx directly. Might as well
do it everywhere like this and don't use the helper functions.
