tracing: kdb: Fix kernel panic during ftdump

Browse Source 
Currently kdb's ftdump command unconditionally crashes due to a null
pointer de-reference whenever the command is run. This in turn causes
the kernel to panic.

The abridged stacktrace (gathered with ARCH=arm) is:

The NULL deref occurs due to the initialized use of struct trace_iter's
buffer_iter member.

This is a regression, albeit a fairly elderly one. It was introduced
by commit 6d158a813e ("tracing: Remove NR_CPUS array from
trace_iterator").

This patch solves this by providing a collection of ring_buffer_iter(s)
and using this to initialize buffer_iter. Note that static allocation
is used solely because the trace_iter itself is also static allocated.
Static allocation also means that we have to NULL-ify the pointer during
cleanup to avoid use-after-free problems.
