Dan Carpenter 3558a5ac50 tracing: Truncated output is better than nothing 
The initial reason for this patch is that I noticed that:

	if (len > TRACE_BUF_SIZE)

is off by one.  In this code, if len == TRACE_BUF_SIZE, then it means we
have truncated the last character off the output string.  If we truncate
two or more characters then we exit without printing.

After some discussion, we decided that printing truncated data is better
than not printing at all so we should just use vscnprintf() and remove
the test entirely.  Also I have updated memcpy() to copy the NUL char
instead of setting the NUL in a separate step.
