Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 235/252] trigger_next should increase position index

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

[ Upstream commit 6722b23e7a2ace078344064a9735fb73e554e9ef ]

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

Without patch:
 # dd bs=30 skip=1 if=/sys/kernel/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/trigger
 dd: /sys/kernel/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/trigger: cannot skip to specified offset
 n traceoff snapshot stacktrace enable_event disable_event enable_hist disable_hist hist
 # Available triggers:
 # traceon traceoff snapshot stacktrace enable_event disable_event enable_hist disable_hist hist
 6+1 records in
 6+1 records out
 206 bytes copied, 0.00027916 s, 738 kB/s

Notice the printing of "# Available triggers:..." after the line.

With the patch:
 # dd bs=30 skip=1 if=/sys/kernel/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/trigger
 dd: /sys/kernel/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/trigger: cannot skip to specified offset
 n traceoff snapshot stacktrace enable_event disable_event enable_hist disable_hist hist
 2+1 records in
 2+1 records out
 88 bytes copied, 0.000526867 s, 167 kB/s

It only prints the end of the file, and does not restart.
