Subject: [PATCH 3/8] ARM: etm: Don't try to clear the buffer full status after reading the buffer

If the write address was at the end of the buffer, toggling the trace
capture bit would set the RAM-full status instead of clearing it, and
if any of the stop bits in the formatter is set toggling the trace
capture bit may not do anything.

Instead use the read position to find out if the data has already
been returned.

This also fixes the read function so it works when the trace buffer is
larger than the buffer passed in from user space. The old version
would reset the trace buffer pointers after every read, so the second
call to read would always return 0.
