[PATCH 6/7] ftrace: don't manipulate @pos in t_start()

It's rather confusing that in t_start(), in some cases @pos is
incremented, and in some cases it's decremented and then incremented.

This patch rewrites t_start() in a much more general way.

Thus we fix a bug that if ftrace_filtered == 1, functions have tracer
hooks won't be printed, because the branch is always unreachable:

static void *t_start(...)
{
...
if (!p)
return t_hash_start(m, pos);
return p;
}

Before:
# echo 'sys_open' > /mnt/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
# echo 'sys_write:traceon:4' >> /mnt/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
sys_open

After:
# echo 'sys_open' > /mnt/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
# echo 'sys_write:traceon:4' >> /mnt/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
sys_open
sys_write:traceon:count=4

[ Impact: show selected functions when filter is on ]
