Subject: [for-next][PATCH 05/21] tracing: eval_map_next() should always increase position index

From: Vasily Averin <vvs@...tuozzo.com>

if seq_file .next fuction does not change position index,
read after some lseek can generate unexpected output.

[ This is not a bug fix, it just makes it "technically correct"
  which is why I applied it. NULL is only returned on an anomaly
  which triggers a WARN_ON ]
