tracing: Fix trace_seq_printf() return value

Browse source 
trace_seq_printf() return value is a little ambiguous. It
currently returns the length of the space available in the
buffer. printf usually returns the amount written. This is not
adequate here, because:

  trace_seq_printf(s, "");

is perfectly legal, and returning 0 would indicate that it
failed.

We can always see the amount written by looking at the before
and after values of s->len. This is not quite the same use as
printf. We only care if the string was successfully written to
the buffer or not.

Make trace_seq_printf() return 0 if the trace oversizes the
buffer's free space, 1 otherwise.
