Actually, I take that back. The contents of saved_ptr should not be
modified.

It may seem strange, but the update is done via the trace_seq_printf().
Then that content is return back to the user. The user should
definitely *not* modify the contents of saved_ptr.

This patch is good as is. It should not be a char *, or char * const.
