tracing: Fix warning in s_next of trace file ops
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This warning in s_next() can be triggered by lseek():
 [<c018b3f7>] ? s_next+0x77/0x80
 [<c013e3c1>] warn_slowpath_common+0x81/0xa0
 [<c018b3f7>] ? s_next+0x77/0x80

 [<c0102bd0>] sysenter_do_call+0x12/0x26

The iterator "leftover" variable is zeroed in the opening of the trace
file. But lseek can call s_start() which will call s_next() without
reseting the "leftover" variable back to zero, which might trigger
the WARN_ON_ONCE(iter->leftover) that is in s_next().
