ftrace: fpid_next() should increase position index

if seq_file .next fuction does not change position index,
read after some lseek can generate unexpected output.

Without patch:
 # dd bs=4 skip=1 if=/sys/kernel/tracing/set_ftrace_pid
 dd: /sys/kernel/tracing/set_ftrace_pid: cannot skip to specified offset
 id
 no pid
 2+1 records in
 2+1 records out
 10 bytes copied, 0.000213285 s, 46.9 kB/s

Notice the "id" followed by "no pid".

With the patch:
 # dd bs=4 skip=1 if=/sys/kernel/tracing/set_ftrace_pid
 dd: /sys/kernel/tracing/set_ftrace_pid: cannot skip to specified offset
 id
 0+1 records in
 0+1 records out
 3 bytes copied, 0.000202112 s, 14.8 kB/s

Notice that it only prints "id" and not the "no pid" afterward.
