In preparation for removing the strlcat API[1],
replace the string concatenation logic with a struct seq_buf,
which tracks the current position and the remaining space internally.

Use seq_buf_str() to NUL-terminate before passing to early_enable_events().

v1 -> v2: 
        - Fixed WARN_ON when booting with empty trace_event.
v2 -> v3: 
        - Addressed Sashiko's concern about the compound literal backing buffer.
        - Replaced the compund literal with an explicit declared buffer and 
pointed
        seq_buf.buffer to it. This guarantees the backing storage is placed in 
        `.init.data` and reclaimed after boot.
