tracing: t_start: reset FTRACE_ITER_HASH in case of seek/pread
commit df09162550fbb53354f0c88e85b5d0e6129ee9cc upstream. Be sure to avoid entering t_show() with FTRACE_ITER_HASH set without having properly started the iterator to iterate the hash. This case is degenerate and, as discovered by Robert Swiecki, can cause t_hash_show() to misuse a pointer. This causes a NULL ptr deref with possible security implications. Tracked as CVE-2010-3079.
