tracing: Simplify the iteration logic in f_start/f_next

f_next() looks overcomplicated, and it is not strictly correct
even if this doesn't matter.

Say, FORMAT_FIELD_SEPERATOR should not return NULL (means EOF)
if trace_get_fields() returns an empty list, we should simply
advance to FORMAT_PRINTFMT as we do when we find the end of list.

1. Change f_next() to return "struct list_head *" rather than
   "ftrace_event_field *", and change f_show() to do list_entry().

   This simplifies the code a bit, only f_show() needs to know
   about ftrace_event_field, and f_next() can play with ->prev
   directly

2. Change f_next() to not play with ->prev / return inside the
   switch() statement. It can simply set node = head/common_head,
   the prev-or-advance-to-the-next-magic below does all work.

While at it. f_start() looks overcomplicated too. I don't think
*pos == 0 makes sense as a separate case, just change this code
to do "while" instead of "do/while".

The patch also moves f_start() down, close to f_stop(). This is
purely cosmetic, just to make the locking added by the next patch
more clear/visible.
