[PATCH v2] rcutorture: Copy out ftrace into its own console file

["Joel Fernandes (Google)" <joel@joelfernandes.org>]

From: Joel Fernandes (Google) <joel@joelfernandes.org>

Often times during debugging, it is difficult to jump to the ftrace dump
in the console log and treat it independent of the result of the log file.
Copy the contents of the buffers into its own file to make it easier to refer
to the ftrace dump. The original ftrace dump is still available in the
console log if it is desired to refer to it there.
