tracing: disable seeking for trace_pipe_raw

Impact: disable pread()

We set tracing_buffers_fops.llseek to no_llseek,
but we can still perform pread() to read this file.

That is not expected.

This fix uses nonseekable_open() to disable it.

tracing_buffers_fops.llseek is still set to no_llseek,
it mark this file is a "non-seekable device" and is used by
sys_splice(). See also do_splice() or manual of splice(2):

ERRORS
       EINVAL Target file system doesn't support  splicing;
              neither  of the descriptors refers to a pipe;
              or offset given for non-seekable device.
