Subject: [PATCH v22 26/31] trace: Convert trace/seq to use copy_splice_read()

For the splice from the trace seq buffer, just use copy_splice_read().

In the future, something better can probably be done by gifting pages from
seq->buf into the pipe, but that would require changing seq->buf into a
vmap over an array of pages.
