Subject: [PATCH 5/5] tracing: reset iterator in t_start()

The iterator is m->private, but it's not reset to trace_types in
t_start(). If the output is larger than PAGE_SIZE and t_start()
is called the 2nd time, things will go wrong.

[ Impact: fix output of current_tracer when it's larger than PAGE_SIZE ]
