In preparation for removing the strlcat API[1], replace the char *pp_buf
with a struct seq_buf, which tracks the current write position and
remaining space internally. This allows for:
- Direct use of seq_buf_printf() in place of snprintf()+strlcat()
pairs, eliminating local tmp buffers throughout.
- Adjacent strlcat() calls that build strings piece-by-piece
(e.g., strlcat("["); strlcat(name); strlcat("]")) to be collapsed
into single seq_buf_printf() calls.
- Simpler call sites: seq_buf_puts() takes only the buffer and string,
with no need to pass PAGE_SIZE at every call.
The backing buffer allocation is unchanged (__get_free_page), and the
output path uses seq_buf_str() to NUL-terminate before passing to
printk().
