[PATCH 1/2] tracing - trace lost events properly

[Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com>]

Add proper handling of lost event trace, allowing callers
to get correct trace buffer info.

 - returning TRACE_TYPE_PARTIAL_LINE, in case we dont fit into
   the trace_seq buffer
 - added WARN_ON to make sure we don't miss incorrect trace_seq
   handling

wbr,
jirka
