gdb.trace/tfind.exp: Force call via global entry point on ppc64le.

tfind.exp sets a breakpoint on *gdb_recursion_test, which is the global
entry point on ppc64le, and won't be hit, since the call uses
the local entry.  Fix by calling the function via a pointer in a global
variable, forcing use of the global entry.
