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().
