tracing: Simplify the iteration logic in f_start/f_next f_next() looks overcomplicated, and it is not strictly correct even if this doesn't matter. Say, FORMAT_FIELD_SEPERATOR should not return NULL (means EOF) if trace_get_fields() returns an empty list, we should simply advance to FORMAT_PRINTFMT as we do when we find the end of list. 1. Change f_next() to return "struct list_head *" rather than "ftrace_event_field *", and change f_show() to do list_entry(). This simplifies the code a bit, only f_show() needs to know about ftrace_event_field, and f_next() can play with ->prev directly 2. Change f_next() to not play with ->prev / return inside the switch() statement. It can simply set node = head/common_head, the prev-or-advance-to-the-next-magic below does all work. While at it. f_start() looks overcomplicated too. I don't think *pos == 0 makes sense as a separate case, just change this code to do "while" instead of "do/while". The patch also moves f_start() down, close to f_stop(). This is purely cosmetic, just to make the locking added by the next patch more clear/visible.
