    Subject[PATCH] tracing: reduce latency and remove percpu trace_seq

    __print_flags() and __print_symbolic() use percpu trace_seq:

    1) Its memory is allocated at compile time, it wastes memory if we don't use tracing.
    2) It is percpu data and it wastes more memory for multi-cpus system.
    3) It disables preemption when it executes its core routine
    "trace_seq_printf(s, "%s: ", #call);" and introduces latency.

    So we move this trace_seq to struct trace_iterator.
