tracing: Acquire buffer from temparary trace sequence

there is one dwc3 trace event declare as below,
DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS(dwc3_log_event,
	TP_PROTO(u32 event, struct dwc3 *dwc),
	TP_ARGS(event, dwc),
	TP_STRUCT__entry(
		__field(u32, event)
		__field(u32, ep0state)
		__dynamic_array(char, str, DWC3_MSG_MAX)
	),
	TP_fast_assign(
		__entry->event = event;
		__entry->ep0state = dwc->ep0state;
	),
	TP_printk("event (%08x): %s", __entry->event,
			dwc3_decode_event(__get_str(str), DWC3_MSG_MAX,
				__entry->event, __entry->ep0state))
);
the problem is when trace function called, it will allocate up to
DWC3_MSG_MAX bytes from trace event buffer, but never fill the buffer
during fast assignment, it only fill the buffer when output function are
called, so this means if output function are not called, the buffer will
never used.

add __get_buf(len) which acquiree buffer from iter->tmp_seq when trace
output function called, it allow user write string to acquired buffer.

the mentioned dwc3 trace event will changed as below,
DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS(dwc3_log_event,
	TP_PROTO(u32 event, struct dwc3 *dwc),
	TP_ARGS(event, dwc),
	TP_STRUCT__entry(
		__field(u32, event)
		__field(u32, ep0state)
	),
	TP_fast_assign(
		__entry->event = event;
		__entry->ep0state = dwc->ep0state;
	),
	TP_printk("event (%08x): %s", __entry->event,
		dwc3_decode_event(__get_buf(DWC3_MSG_MAX), DWC3_MSG_MAX,
				__entry->event, __entry->ep0state))
);.
