tracing: kdb: Fix kernel livelock with empty buffers Currently kdb's ftdump command will livelock by constantly printk'ing the empty string at KERN_EMERG level if it run when the ftrace system is not in use. This occurs because trace_empty() never returns false when the ring buffers are left at the start of a non-consuming read [launched by ring_buffer_read_start()]. This patch changes the loop exit condition to use the result of trace_find_next_entry_inc(). Effectively this switches the non-consuming kdb dumper to follow the approach of the non-consuming userspace interface [s_next()] rather than the consuming ftrace_dump().
