tracing: add cpu_file intialization for ftrace_dump

Impact: fix to ftrace_dump output corruption

The commit: b04cc6b1f6398b0e0b60d37e27ce51b4899672ec
tracing/core: introduce per cpu tracing files

added a new field to the iterator called cpu_file. This was a handle
to differentiate between the per cpu trace output files and the
all cpu "trace" file. The all cpu "trace" file required setting this
to TRACE_PIPE_ALL_CPU.

The problem is that the ftrace_dump sets up its own iterator but was
not updated to handle this change. The result was only CPU 0 printing
out on crash and a lot of "<0>"'s also being printed.
