Subject: [PATCH] seq_buf: let seq_buf_putmem_hex support len larger than 8

I guess the original intention of seq_buf_putmem_hex is to dump the raw
memory to seq_buf according to 64 bits integer number. It tries to output
numbers in reverse, with the high bits in the front and the low bits in
the back. If the length of the raw memory is equal to 8, e.g.
"01 23 45 67 89 ab cd ef" in memory, it will be dumped as "efcdab8967452301".

But if the length of the raw memory is larger than 8, the first value of
start_len will larger than 8, than seq_buf will save the last data, not
the eighth one, e.g. "01 23 45 67 89 ab cd ef 11" in memory, it will be
dumped as "11efcdab8967452301". I think it is not the original
intention of the function.

More seriously, if the length of the raw memory is larger than 9, the
start_len will be larger than 9, then hex will overflow, and the stack will be
corrupted. I do not kown if it can be exploited by hacker. But I am sure
it will cause kernel panic when the length of memory is more than 32 bytes.

Additionally, the address of data ptr keeps in the same value in multiple
loops, the value of data buffer will not be picked forever.
