[PATCH] rcutorture: Copy out ftrace into its own console file

[PATCH] rcutorture: Copy out ftrace into its own console file

[Joel Fernandes (Google)]

From: Joel <agnel.joel@gmail.com>

Often times it is difficult to jump to the ftrace buffers and treat it
independently during debugging. Copy the contents of the buffers into
its own file.

Yeah I suck. Apparently I still don't know how to send a patch after 13 years.
