tracing: Fix sleeping while atomic in kdb ftdump

If you drop into kdb and type "ftdump" you'll get a sleeping while
atomic warning from memory allocation in trace_find_next_entry().

This appears to have been caused by commit ff895103 ("tracing:
Save off entry when peeking at next entry"), which added the
allocation in that path. The problematic commit was already fixed by
commit 8e99cf91 ("tracing: Do not allocate buffer in
trace_find_next_entry() in atomic") but that fix missed the kdb case.

The fix here is easy: just move the assignment of the static buffer to
the place where it should have been to begin with:
trace_init_global_iter(). That function is called in two places, once
is right before the assignment of the static buffer added by the
previous fix and once is in kdb.

Note that it appears that there's a second static buffer that we need
to assign that was added in commit efbbdaa2 ("tracing: Show real
address for trace event arguments"), so we'll move that too.
