seq_buf: Make DECLARE_SEQ_BUF() usable
Using the address operator on the array doesn't work: ./include/linux/seq_buf.h:27:27: error: initialization of ‘char *’ from incompatible pointer type ‘char (*)[128]’ [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types] 27 | .buffer = &__ ## NAME ## _buffer, \ | ^ Apart from fixing that, we can improve DECLARE_SEQ_BUF() by using a compound literal to define the buffer array without attaching a name to it. This makes the macro a single statement, allowing constructs such as: static DECLARE_SEQ_BUF(my_seq_buf, MYSB_SIZE); to work as intended.
